Answer 1

Hint:Guru Nanak is the first among ten gods of Sikh and is the founder of Sikhism. He was born in the year 1469 in Nankana Sahib in Punjab which is present-day Pakistan and every year his birth anniversary is celebrated as Guru Nanak Jayanti.

Complete answer: Guru Nanak, founder of Sikhism is very famous for his teachings and lessons about life and humanity. The main reason for him to establish Sikhism as a separate religion was the harsh practice of the jati system of Hinduism. He wanted a world where everyone is treated with respect and dignity and there is no discrimination of any form against any living being. He believed that there is only one God who is almighty, who lives in every living creature. He had traveled across Asia and spread his teachings of love, humanity, equality, and peace. According to Guru Nanak, before any creature was created God existed in the Nirgun form, he existed in a form of energy that cannot be seen but can only be felt. After the creation of living beings, God appeared in Sagun form, the form in which his existence can not only be felt but can also be seen by individuals.

So the correct option is (C) Nirgun and Sagun. According to Guru Nanak Sahib God is omnipotent and omnipresent. God has both the Nirgun and Sagun forms.

Note: Guru Nanak’s teaching which was in the form of poems and hymns have been combined in the holy book of Sikhism, Guru Granth Sahib. The main aim of his teachings was the unity of all mankind and to create a world where all can live in peace.
