(B) Duleep Singh
(C) Kharak Singh
(D) Bhupinder Singh

Answer 1

Hint: He was also known as Lion of the Punjab for his bravery and is respected as one of the most revered heroes in the Indian history.

Complete answer:
Ranjit Singh was the maharaja of the Sikh realm of Punjab. The development of the realm began with his triumph in Afghan-Sikh war and the unification of the different Sikh misls. He was the head of the Sikh Empire, which managed the northwest Indian subcontinent in the early 50% of the nineteenth century. He endures smallpox in earliest stages however lost sight in his left eye. He faced his first conflict close by his dad at age 10. After his dad passed on, he battled a few battles to remove the Afghans in his high school years and was declared as the "Maharaja of Punjab" at age 21. His realm filled in the Punjab area under his initiative through 1839.
The Khalsa armed force and the government included Sikhs, Hindus, Muslims and Europeans too. Preceding his ascent, the Punjab area had various fighting misls, twelve of which were under Sikh rulers and one Muslim. Ranjit Singh effectively ingested and joined the Sikh misls and took over other neighbourhood realms to make the Sikh Empire. He consistently vanquished intrusions by outside militaries, especially those showing up from Afghanistan, and set up neighbourly relations with the British.

Thus, option (A) is correct.

Note: Ranjit Singh first fought in a battle when he was only 10 years. In his childhood, he suffered from smallpox which resulted in him losing one of his eyes. In 1799, he captured Lahore, which is also considered as the turning point for the Sikh Empire.
