Official Solution & Explanation:
Correct Answer: Option C(फारसी)
मुगल साम्राज्य की राजभाषा तथा दरबारी भाषा 'फारसी' (Persian) थी। यद्यपि मुगलों की मातृभाषा चगताई तुर्की थी, किंतु बाबर के बाद हुमायूं और विशेष रूप से अकबर के काल से फारसी को प्रशासनिक, कूटनीतिक, अदालती एवं साहित्यिक भाषा के रूप में सार्वभौमिक मान्यता दी गई।
The official court and administrative language of the Mughal Empire was 'Persian' (Farsi). Although the personal ancestral tongue of the dynasty was Chaghatai Turkish, Persian was adopted and institutionalized by Humayun and particularly Akbar as the universal language of statecraft, diplomacy, law, and high culture.
