Answer 1

The correct responses to the religious issues faced by the rulers of the Mughal Empire are:

• to rule a large population that belonged to a different religion
• to bring Hindus and Muslims together

The Mughal rulers, particularly Akbar, were known for their efforts to promote religious tolerance and to foster harmony between Hindus and Muslims, as they ruled over a diverse empire with a significant Hindu population alongside Muslims. There was no specific focus on restoring unity among Christians, as the primary concern was the relationship between Hindus and Muslims.
