Iift 2012 Question 70

Explanation:
The author in the 2nd and the 3rd paragraph says, 'Babur got up and tried to concentrate on writing an entry in his diary but the words wouldn’t come and he pushed his jewel-studded inkwell impatiently aside. Maybe he would go to the women’s apartments. He would ask Maham to sing. Sometimes she accompanied herself on the round-bellied, slender- necked lute that had once belonged to Esan Dawlat. Maham lacked her grandmother’s but the lute still made a sweet sound in her hands. Or he might play a game of chess with
Humayun'.
From this we can see that Babur considered going to women's apartments.
We can also see that Babur considered Listen to Maham sing and Play a game of chess with Humayun.
Thus, Babur considered doing option A, C and D. Hence, Babur did not consider doing B as can be understood from, 'There was little pleasure just now even in visiting his garden the sodden flowers, soggy ground and overflowing water channels only depressed him' Hence, option B is the correct answer.
