Answer: (B) Raja Todarmal
Raja Todar Mal, Akbar's finance minister, systematised land revenue through the zabt (dahsala) system of measuring land and fixing cash revenue on ten-year average produce and prices. Raja Bihari Mal (Bharmal) of Amber was the first Rajput ruler to give his daughter in marriage to Akbar, in 1562. Birbal, a favourite courtier, was killed in 1586 fighting the Yusufzai tribes in the north-west. Raja Chunnumal has no link with the revenue system.
