Option b is the correct answer. Abul Hasan and Aqa Riza were both painters during Jahangir's reign (1605-1627) whereas Abdus Samad and Mir Sayyid Ali were both painters during Akbar's reign (1556-1605). Important Tips 'Abd-al-Samad (1500-1593), a Persian painter, pioneered Mughal miniature art after moving to India in the 16th century. His influence peaked under Emperor Akbar's rule (from 1572), shaping the mature Mughal style. Abu al-Hasan (1589 - 1630), a Mughal painter, worked during Jahangir's reign. Known for high-quality miniatures, he documented court events and created portraits. Jahangir honored him with the title Nadir-uz-Saman ("Wonder of the Age") in 1618. Aqa Riza Jahangiri (1560-1621), a Mughal painter, worked at Shah Salim's (Jahangir) court before his coronation, c. 1599-1604 in Allahabad. He was the father of Abu'l Hasan and he contributed to the Isfahan School, excelling in single miniature figures, notably during the Safavid era under Shah Abbas I. Mir Sayyid Ali (1510-1572), a Persian miniaturist, excelled under Shah Tahmasp before contributing to Mughal painting under Emperor Akbar. His early works include Shahnameh and Khamsa illustrations. Notably, "Laila and Majnun" and a diptych for Khamsa showcase his skill during this period.
