In the Deccan, painting continued to developindependently of the Mughal style in the beginning. However, later inthe 17th and 18th centuries it was increasingly influenced by the Mughalstyle. So, A is wrong.

• Early centres of painting in the Deccan, during the 16th and 17thcenturies were Ahmednagar, Bijapur and Golconda.
• Painting in Hyderabad started with the foundation of the Asafjhidynasty by Mir Qamruddin Khan Nizam-ul-Mulk in 1724 A.D.
• Influence of the Mughal style of painting on the already existingearly styles of Deccani paintings, introduced by several Mughal painters who migrated to the Deccan during the period ofAurangzeb and sought patronage there, was responsible for thedevelopment of various styles of painting in the Deccan atHyderabad and other centres.
