The question asks to identify the specific tax levied on non-Muslim citizens in historical Islamic states. This requires knowledge of historical taxation systems, particularly the terminology associated with taxes on non-Muslims (dhimmis).
Correct Option: A) Jizya Tax was a per capita yearly tax historically levied by Islamic states on certain non-Muslim subjects (dhimmis) permanently residing in Muslim lands under Islamic law. It was a form of tribute and a sign of their submission to Muslim rule, in exchange for protection, the right to practice their religion, and exemption from military service and zakat (the tax on Muslims).
The question asks about the age of Akbar when he ascended the throne after his father Humayun's death. This is a factual question related to Indian history, specifically the Mughal period. To answer this, one needs to recall key dates associated with Akbar's birth and Humayun's death.
Age = Year of Humayun's death - Year of Akbar's birth
Age = \(1556 - 1542 = 14\) years.
However, since Humayun died in January 1556 and Akbar was born in October 1542, Akbar had not yet completed his 14th birthday in January 1556. He was in his 14th year, meaning he was 13 years old. He would have turned 14 in October 1556.
Therefore, at the time of his succession in January 1556, Akbar was 13 years old.
C) 13 — Akbar was born in 1542 and his father Humayun died in 1556. This means Akbar was 13 years old when he ascended the throne. He was formally crowned on February 14, 1556, in Kalanaur, Punjab.
