Answer 1

Hint: Guru Nanak Dev Ji was the founder and first Guru of Sikhism. He was born in the year 1469 near the village Talwandi, located in the Punjab region. His wisdom shared through devotional hymns and meditation gave the Sikhs the foundation to establish a new mode of faith. Among modern Sikhs he enjoys a particular affection as their founder and as the supreme master of Punjabi devotional hymnody.

Complete answer: In the final years of his life, Guru ji settled down in the township of Kartarpur also known as "creator's town" situated near the banks of river Ravi in Punjab. Here, he lived like a peasant and became a full-time farmer. There were still people who were reaching out to him. He introduced the institution of Langar, which is like a free communal kitchen at Kartarpur, in order to create an equal ground for people regardless of their social and economic status. In 1539 chose Bhai Lehna ji (Guru Angad Dev Ji) as the Second Nanak.
The writings of Guru Nanak Dev ji were integrated into the scripture of Guru Granth Sahib by the fifth Guru Arjan Dev ji in the form of 974 spiritual hymns comprising the Japji Sahib, Asa di Var, Bara Mah, Sidh Gosht and Dakhni Onkar. Following Guru Nanak Dev ji, all the Sikh Gurus continued to mark themselves as Nanak when penning their sacred writings.

Hence, the solution is option C.

Note: Guru Nanak Dev ji was respected by both Hindus and Muslims during his time on Earth, and even today many, outside of the Sikh religion, revere him. It is related that his disciples, some formerly Hindu and others formerly Muslims, debated as he lay dying whether his body should be cremated as prescribed or buried by Hindu custom as in Islamic tradition. It is said that they found only beautiful flowers when they removed the sheet which had covered the Guru.
