Hint: Guru Nanak Dev Ji is the founder of Sikhism. He got married in 1487 and his wife was daughter of Mul Chand.


Step by step answer:

Shri Guru Nanak Dev Ji was the founder and the first guru of Sikhism. Nanak was born on 15 April, 1469 in the village of "Rai Bhoi Ki Talwandi"  (present-day Nankana Sahib, Punjab, Pakistan ). He was the son of Mehta Kalu and Mata Tripta, and had a sister Nanki. 


The wife of Guru Nanak Dev Ji was Mata Sulakhni (1473-1545). She was the daughter of Mul Chand, a Chona Khatri of Batala (sometimes also referred to as Mul Chand Chauna), who held a small revenue office in the village of 'Pakkhoke' in the Gurdaspur district of Punjab. The name of her mother was ‘Chando Rani’. They got married in 1487. They had 2 sons, Lakhmi Das and Sri Chand.


Nanak worked in the storehouse for many years in Sultanpur Lodhi until he heard the voice of God while bathing one day in a small river and thought of dedicating himself to the service of God & humanity and the first words of his was - " There is no Hindu, no Musalmaan". He took majorly four spiritual journeys which included traveling to different parts of India, Sri Lanka, Arabia and Persia. He followed and believed in the concepts of:-

-Serve everyone.

-Treat everyone in this world equally.

-Live life honestly and work hard.

-Keep your God in your mind & heart every time.

Thus, if we consider all the options, then Bibi Nanki was the sister whereas Mata Tripta was the mother of Guru Nanak Dev Ji. The option D i.e. Devaki was not associated with him as she was the mother of Lord Krishna. 


So, the correct answer is Option C.


Note: Sikhs worship in gurudwara. The prayers which they chant are called Keeratan. They offer everyone a meal called Langar. Amritsar is the holy place of Sikhs.
