Detailed Solution

The above statement is true.
Several factors caused the Mughal Empire's decline. First, due to Aurangzeb's decision to engage in a protracted conflict in the Deccan, the financial and military resources of the Empire were drained. Second, the Mughal administration's effectiveness crumbled, making it challenging for succeeding Mughal emperors to reign under the growing influence of the nobility in their courts. Third, the finances and military management of the provinces were frequently under the control of the provincial governors. As a result, they acquired enormous financial, military, and economic dominance. Fourth, periodic uprisings by peasants and zamindars against the Mughal Empire caused the rulers a lot of trouble.
