Explanation:

• Antonio Monserrate (1536-1600) was a Portuguese priest who accompanied two other priests, Father Rodolfo Acquaviva, and Father Francisco Enriquez, on the first Jesuit mission to the court of Emperor Akbar (1542-1605; reigned 1556-1605). Aquaviva and Monserrate went back in 1583, belying the hopes the Portuguese entertained of Akbar’s conversion to the Christian faith. Hence, statement 1 is correct. • François Bernier, a Frenchman, was a doctor, political philosopher, and historian. Like many others, he came to the Mughal Empire in search of opportunities. He was in India for twelve years, from 1656 to 1668, and was closely associated with the Mughal court, as a physician to Prince Dara Shukoh, the eldest son of Emperor Shah Jahan. • Jahangir was the Mughal emperor who ruled from 1605 until his death in 1627. Thus, his reign preceded the arrival of François Bernier to India. Hence, statement 2 is correct. • Sir Thomas Roe was an English Diplomat who visited Mughal emperor Jahangir’s court. In 1615, Sir Thomas Roe came as an accredited ambassador of James I to the court of Jahangir, staying there till February 1619. Sir Thomas Roe obtained more trading rights and privileges for the East India Company. Accordingly, the English set up business centers at Agra, Ahmedabad and Broach. Slowly the English East India Company succeeded in expanding its area of trade. Hence, statement 3 is not correct. • Earlier Captain Hawkins arrived in the court of Jahangir in April 1609. But the mission to establish a factory at Surat didn’t succeed due to opposition from the Portuguese, and Hawkins left Agra in November 1611.
