A Correct answer
Explanation

Inam land was land granted by the state as a form of pension or reward, often to officials, nobles, or religious persons. This was a non-hereditary grant that could be revoked. Option B is incorrect because while Sadhus might receive Inam land, that's not the definition. Option C refers to revenue assignments rather than pension grants. Option D describes Waqf land, not Inam.
