This question asks about the meaning of an important administrative policy introduced by the Mughal Emperor Akbar.

Sulh-i-Kul was Akbar's policy of religious tolerance and peaceful coexistence among all communities in his empire. The term literally translates from Persian as "peace with all," reflecting Akbar's pragmatic approach to governing a religiously diverse population including Hindus, Muslims, Christians, and others. This policy abolished the jizya (tax on non-Muslims), appointed people based on merit regardless of religion, and promoted interfaith dialogue, making it fundamentally different from policies of religious persecution or division. By implementing Sulh-i-Kul, Akbar created a more stable and unified empire where people of different faiths could coexist peacefully under Mughal rule.

The correct answer is (B) Peace with all.
