Discussion
Statement (A) : Akbar, Jahangir and Shahjahan followed the idea of Sulh-i-Kul (universal peace) as principles of governance.
Statement (B) : Akbar's interactions with people connected with faiths, made him realise that religious scholars who emphasised rituals and dogmas were often bigots.
Answer: C
Both (A) and (B) are true and (B) is the reason for (A).
The NCERT chapter on the Mughals says that Akbar's interactions with people of different faiths, at his ibadat khana in Fatehpur Sikri, made him realise that religious scholars who emphasised ritual and dogma were often bigots. This led him to the idea of sulh-i kul or universal peace, a principle of governance that did not discriminate between religions, and Jahangir and Shah Jahan also followed it.
So B gives the origin of the policy described in A, which is why the key prefers option C to option D, and why the options calling either statement false are wrong.
