    1. William Finch
    2. Pietra Della Vella
    3. Edward Terry
    4. William Hawkins
Correct Option: D

In 1608, Captain William Hawkins came to the court of Jahangir with a letter from James I, king of England, requesting permission for the English merchants to establish in India. But due to vehement opposition of the Portuguese and the Surat merchants, emperor Jahangir had to change his mind and Hawkin's mission failed.
