C) **Inam:** Correctly matched. These were usually grants of revenue-free land given to learned or religious persons, or for charitable institutions.

These were assignments of land revenue (not necessarily land itself, but the right to collect revenue from a specific area) given to Mansabdars (military and civil officials) in lieu of cash salaries. The jagir was the territorial unit from which the Mansabdar collected revenue.
