- AKhalisa: Villages whose income went directly to the State Treasury
- BMauza: Rebellious territory
- CInam: Land allotted to learned and religious man
- DJagir: Territorial assignment given to Mansabdars in lieu of salary
Explanation
Khalisa lands paid revenue directly to the state treasury, inam was land granted to learned or religious men, and jagir was a territorial assignment to mansabdars in lieu of salary – all correctly matched. Mauza, however, means a village (a revenue unit), not rebellious territory. Hence (B) is the pair that is NOT correctly matched.
