In the 1800s, the Mughals were Indian loyalists who supported British rule and fought on behalf of the viceroy.

Explanation

The Mughals were a Muslim dynasty that ruled much of India. In the 1700s, as Mughal power weakened, they allowed European trading companies, including the British East India Company, to establish trading posts. They were not Hindu rulers opposing trade, as choice A claims.
