✅ Correct Option: 3
Peter Mundy travelled in Jahangir's and Shah Jahan's India, Mahmud Wali Balkhi visited in the 1620s-30s and wrote Bahr al-Asrar, and Francois Bernier stayed at Aurangzeb's court and wrote Travels in the Mogul Empire.
Marco Polo is a thirteenth century traveller, so he is excluded, leaving (A), (C) and (D).
