Which of the following is not correctly matched? (A) Khusrau’s rebellion (1606-07) (B) Khurram (Shah Jahan)’s rebellion (1622-25) (C) Mahabat Khan’s rebellion (1626-27) (D) Assassination of the 5th Guru Arjan Dev (1706)
The match (D) Assassination of the 5th Guru Arjan Dev (1706) is incorrect. The Fifth Sikh Guru, Arjan Dev, was martyred in 1606 on the orders of Jahangir for allegedly helping his rebellious son, Prince Khusrau. 1706 is chronologically wrong and falls near the end of Aurangzeb’s reign. The correct answer is (D) Assassination of the 5th Guru Arjan Dev (1706).

The pairing (D) Assassination of the 5th Guru Arjan Dev (1706) is incorrect. The Fifth Sikh Guru, Arjan Dev, was executed in 1606 AD on the orders of Emperor Jahangir due to his support for the rebellious Prince Khusrau. The year 1706 is incorrect; the Ninth Guru, Guru Tegh Bahadur, was executed in 1675 during Aurangzeb’s reign. The other pairs—Khusrau’s rebellion (1606), Khurram’s revolt (1622–25) and Mahabat Khan’s rebellion (1626)—are historically correct events during Jahangir’s reign.
