The correct option is 2. Indo-Persian sources of the Mughal period used terms like "muzarian," "khud-kashta," and "pahi-kashta" most frequently to denote peasants. These terms referred to different categories of agricultural workers and land cultivators, with "khud-kashta" representing resident peasants and "pahi-kashta" representing non-resident cultivators.
