The correct answer is **B. religious tolerance.**
Akbar the Great is well known for his policy of religious tolerance, which helped to unite the diverse groups within his empire. He promoted interactions between different religious communities and even established a new syncretic faith known as Din-i Ilahi, aimed at fostering unity among Hindus, Muslims, and other religions in his empire. This approach significantly contributed to the stability and cohesion of his rule over a culturally diverse India.
