Nirguna Bhakti in the Bhakti movement was linked with which idea?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Devotion to a formless God
Nirguna means ‘without attributes or form’. Nirguna Bhakti therefore emphasized devotion to a formless, ultimate reality rather than worship centred on a physical image. Saints such as Kabir strongly represented this stream. Image worship is more closely linked with Saguna traditions, while trade and military expansion are unrelated, so A is correct.
