Answer: Option C

Solution(By Examveda Team)

The Mughal Governors in Kashmir were corrupt. They started looting people. There was a steep rise in crime and violence. Due to this misrule, two Kashmiri noblemen, Miri Muquim Kant and Khwaja Zahir Didmari invited Ahmad Shah Abdali Durrani of Kabul (Commander of Nadir Shah), who was at Lahore in 1752 to capture Kashmir. In 1753, Ahmad Shah Abdali again sent his army under Commander Abdullah Khan Ishaq Aqasi to conquer Kashmir. A battle was fought at Shepian where Mughal Army was defeated and Kashmir was conquered by the Afghans.
