With reference to the agrarian society in Mughal India, the term 'Khud-Khasht' and 'Pahi-Kasht' refers to
Answer: B
The terms refer to two types of peasants, residents and non-residents (migrants).
In Mughal India the khud-kashta were resident cultivators who tilled land in the village where they lived and held it on hereditary terms. The pahi-kashta were non-resident cultivators who came from other villages, often seasonally or because of better terms, and cultivated land on contract.
The terms describe classes of peasants, not revenue systems, irrigation tools or tax officials, so the other options are wrong.
