Option 4 : (A), (B) and (C)

Among the given statements about the painters during Jahangir's period, all the statements - (A), (B) and (C) are correct.

Statement (A): Mansur was expert in painting animals and flowers.

Mansur was the leading nature painter at the court of the Mughal emperor Jahangir.
The emperor took a passionate interest in the natural world and established a compendium of natural history with Mansur's help.
His detailed careful depictions of plants and animals avoided all personal expression and are extremely valuable for their scientific accuracy as well as their artistic perfection.
Mansur accompanied Jahangir on some of his travels and was then in charge of the documentation of plants and animals.
Probably of greatest value for modern science is Mansur's painting of a dodo, a flightless bird of Mauritius that became extinct in 1681.

Thus, the Statement (A) is correct.

Statement (B): Abul Hasan was a portraitist.

Abul Hasan was a prolific artist under the Mughal emperor Jahangir who was honoured with the tile of “Nadir uz-zaman” (“wonder of the age”).
Throughout his career, Abul Hasan painted a myriad of themes commissioned by the emperor and influenced by his own personal style.
The Mughals came into contact with the Europeans during Jahangir’s reign, and we can see evidence of the influence of European styles and aesthetics in Abul Hasan’s work.
Abul Hasan went on to become the most prolific portrait painter of his day.

Therefore, the Statement (B) is correct.

Statement (C): Govardhan was an expert painter of painting holymen, musicians, and eccentrics.

Govardhan was a noted Indian painter of the Mughal school of painting.
He joined the imperial service during the reign of Akbar and he continued his work till the reign of Jahangir and Shah Jahan.
Govardhan was an expert painter of painting holymen, musicians, and eccentrics.
He was hailed for his ability to capture the psychological state of his sitters and incorporate fashionable and international motifs.

Hence, the Statement (C) is correct.
