D.Paragana–Suba—Sarkar
A.Paragana—Sarkar—Suba
B.Sarkar—Paragana–Suba
C.Suba-Sarkar-Paragana
Correct Answer: Option A
During the Mughal period, particularly under Akbar, the administrative structure was organized hierarchically.
Inspired by Sher Shah's methods, Akbar structured his empire into distinct administrative units:
- Paragana: A group of villages, forming the smallest administrative unit.
- Sarkar: A collection of Parganas.
- Suba: The largest unit, comprising several Sarkars.
Therefore, the correct ascending order of size is Paragana-Sarkar-Suba.
Hence, option A is the correct answer.
