Saints

Correct answer: B. Sikhism

Guru Nanak is regarded as the first Guru and foundational teacher of the Sikh tradition. He taught devotion to one God, honest work, sharing with others and the equality of human beings. Jainism and Buddhism are older religious traditions, while a Sufi silsila is a lineage within Islamic mysticism rather than the tradition founded by Guru Nanak.

Correct answer: A. Devotion to Krishna

Mirabai was a celebrated Bhakti poet and devotee of Krishna. Her songs express intense personal love and surrender to Krishna, often challenging rigid social expectations. She was not a member of a Sufi order, a Jain ascetic or a Mughal administrator. Her devotional poetry therefore makes option A the clear answer.

Correct answer: A. Krishna devotion

The correct answer is Krishna devotion. Surdas is celebrated for devotional poetry centred on Krishna, especially his childhood and loving relationship with devotees. His verses are closely connected with the Braj region and the Krishna-bhakti tradition, and many are included in the Sur Sagar tradition. A Sufi order and a Jain sangha belong to different religious traditions, while Mughal administration is a political institution rather than a devotional path.
