B, C, D
Like most Islamic groups from Central Asia, the Mughals were influenced by Persian culture. In India, Persian forms mingled with Indian elements to create a uniquely Indian form of Islamic art and architecture, as seen in the Taj Mahal. Illustrated books were a second great Persian artistic tradition. Indian painters absorbed the Mughal love of detail and jewel-toned palette, while retaining the decorative flatness and saturated color of earlier Indian manuscript painting.
