A1, 2 and 3
B2, 3 and 4
C3 and 4 only
D4 only

Explanation

Rajput paintings are celebrated for Vaishnava themes, especially the stories of Krishna (Bhagavata subjects), and for ragamala paintings depicting ragas and raginis, so items 1 and 2 ARE depicted. The deeds of Hamza belong to the Hamzanama, the great illustrated manuscript of Akbar's Mughal court, and the deeds of Babur belong to Mughal (Baburnama) tradition - neither is a Rajput painting theme. The items not depicted are therefore 3 and 4, option (C).
