In the Mughal period, the term Daroga was generally used for what type of officer?

Correct answer: Inspector or officer in charge

The direct answer is B: Inspector or officer in charge. In Mughal administration, “Daroga” was generally an official responsible for supervising a department, institution, work, or arrangement. The exact duty could differ according to the department, but the central idea was supervision and responsibility. Therefore, the reasoning is: Daroga means a person placed in charge; a person in charge inspects, controls, or manages work; so option B fits. Option A, King, is wrong because a king was the supreme ruler, not normally called a Daroga. Option B is correct because it gives the usual administrative meaning. Option C, Saint, describes a religious person and has no connection with this official designation. Option D, Poet, describes a literary occupation, not an administrative post. Remember: in history questions, connect “Daroga” with duty and supervision, not with religion, literature, or kingship.
