Answer:

A.

Step-by-step explanation:

"Akbar won the support of the Hindu kings he had defeated by marrying their daughters. . . He promoted peace and religious tolerance across the kingdom. Emperor Akbar tried to create a new system of moral teaching, combining elements of Islam, Hinduism, and other religions."

"Through his policy of tolerance, opening employment of Hindus of all castes, ending the tax on non-Muslims, and marrying a Hindu princess, while treating Hindu princes as partners in government, Akbar was able to win the support of Hindu subjects."
