Explanation – Mughals never paid attention to navy building. So, statement 3 is incorrect.
Statement 1 is correct as Akbar was apprehensive of the growing power of the Portuguese. They had been interfering in pilgrims traffic to Mecca, not sparing even the royal ladies. In their territories, they carried out Prosetlyzing activities which Akbar disliked. They were constantly trying to expand their position on the mainland and had even tried to lay their hand on Surat which was saved by the timely arrival of a mughal commander. This forced him to concentrate his attention towards Portuguese. Deccan situation was worsening by sectarian conflicts. Towards the beginning of 16th century, Shiism became the state religion of Iran under a new dynasty called the safavid dynasty. Shiism has been suppressed sect for a long time and in the flush of enthusiasm, votaries of the new sect indulged in the persecution of their erstwhile opponents. As a result many families from Iran came to India. Shiism was adopted by Golconda as a state creed. In ahmednagar and Bijapur too shia party became strong, this heightened sectarian strife. During this time only Akbar put forward the concept of sulh-i-kul. He was afraid that the growing bitter sectarian rivalries prevailing in the deccan would spill into the Mughal empire. This impelled Akbar to involve himself in the deccan affairs.
