PLLLZ HELP Akbar the Great helped to strengthen the Mughal empire by

Answer 1

Akbar the Great helped to strengthen the Mughal empire by "using paid officials in place of hereditary officeholders".

Answer: Option B

Explanation:

Public service organization was established during the monarchy of Akbar, and was focused on the mansabdari method, originally adopted from Persia. Every major state officer possessed a mansab or official rank and emoluments appointment and as representatives of an imperial executive, they were responsible for serving anywhere in the empire.

In 1573–74, Akbar graded the office holders into thirty-three classes, from ten commanders to ten thousand commanders. Mughal mansabdars' main categories however, were three:

• Officers: Those in control from ten to four hundred were widely known as mansabdars.
• Nobles: those in command from 500 to 25,000 were amirs and
• Grandees: those who are in higher ranks belonged to the groups of umara-i-kabir or umara-i-azim.
