Explanation
Sulh-i-kul means 'absolute peace' or universal toleration (1); Akbar's doctrine extended freedom of expression to all regions and schools of thought, debated openly in the Ibadat Khana (2); and the ideal was implemented through state policy — abolition of the jizya and pilgrim tax, and impartial appointments (3). All three statements are correct.
