Correct answer: (B) 1 and 2 — The farmans throw light on points 1 and 2, so the answer is 1 and 2.
Explanation
★The farmans throw light on points 1 and 2, so the answer is 1 and 2.
★They show the declining state of agriculture and the burden of oppressive taxation.
★They also show the problem of the flight of peasants from the land.
★These conditions troubled the later years of Aurangzeb's reign.
★So the farmans bring out these two problems.
★They do not chiefly deal with the Satnami and Jat uprisings.
