Explanation
★Both are correct and R explains A, so the answer is both correct with R explaining A.
★Under Aurangzeb, the claim over the property of a deceased mansabdar was limited to the mutaliba.
★In 1691 Aurangzeb issued a farman not to attach the property of nobles whose heirs were in government service.
★This was because the heirs could be asked to pay the mutaliba contracted by the deceased.
★The farman thus explains why the claim was limited to the mutaliba.
★So both statements are correct and the reason explains the assertion.
