D) a reversal of religious toleration policies

Explanation:

Shah Jahan was the ruler who marked a transitional period in the history of India under Muslim rule. At the end of the seventeenth century, it was clear that the Mogul Empire was beginning to decline.
The military and the court were too expensive for the state budget, and the rulers continued to invest in lavish cultural achievements, neglecting the agriculture on which all that wealth was based. The
economic crisis came to light during the reign of Aurangzeb (1658-1707), who believed that the solution to the crisis lay in the greater discipline of Muslim society.
His insecurity was particularly reflected in his murderous hatred of Muslim "heretics" as well as members of other faiths.
The heirs abandoned his policy, but the damage had already been done. Even the Muslims themselves were dissatisfied: there was nothing truly Islamic in Aurangzeb's ardent fulfillment of Sharia. Specifically, Sharia advocates justice for all, including the winters. Thus the Mughal Empire began to disintegrate, with local Muslim governors striving to take control of their territories as independent state units.
