Explanation
The correct answer is option 4 i.e. Only 1 and 3.
Akbar introduced the Mansabdari system, which was a bureaucratic structure to manage his empire. The system classified officers based on ranks (Mansabs) and military responsibilities. He also made Fatehpur Sikri his capital in the late 16th century. It served as his administrative and cultural center before he moved the capital back to Agra due to water supply issues.
