Answer:
a) absorbed religious influences.
Step-by-step explanation:
Both the Ottoman and Mughal empires have acquired vast territories and new boundaries. Integrating a vast territorial region was not an easy task because it consists of different cultures, ethnicity, religion, etc. Therefore they absorbed religious influences from local elements as it gives more stability to their empires. Large empires need the flexibility and support of local people to work efficiently and stand for a long period.
