The correct answer is (A) Nizam Shahis : Bijapur.
The Deccan Sultanates were five medieval kingdoms that emerged from the break-up of the Bahmani Sultanate. Their correct regions were:
– Nizam Shahis ruled the Sultanate of Ahmednagar.
– Adil Shahis ruled the Sultanate of Bijapur.
– Barid Shahis ruled the Sultanate of Bidar.
– Qutb Shahis ruled the Sultanate of Golkonda.
– Imad Shahis ruled the Sultanate of Berar.
Therefore, the pair Nizam Shahis : Bijapur is incorrectly matched.
These sultanates played a significant role in the political and cultural history of the Deccan region from the late 15th to the late 17th centuries. They eventually fell to the Mughal Empire.
