The correct answer is

Madarasas

Education in medieval India under Muslim rulers, including the Mughals, was organised at two levels.

Maktabs, usually attached to mosques, gave elementary education in reading, writing and religious texts. Higher learning was given in madrasas, where students studied theology, Arabic and Persian literature, law, logic, philosophy, history, mathematics and medicine. Mughal emperors such as Akbar founded and supported such madrasas at Agra, Fatehpur Sikri and Delhi.

Maqtabs (maktabs) were primary schools, not higher learning centres, while 'Khajkais' and 'Arabi schools' were not the recognised names of higher education institutions of the period.

Madarasas option is correct.
