Answer 1

Hint: Guru Nanak is the founder of Sikhism and is the first of the ten Sikh Gurus. He is also referred to as Baba Nanak. His birth is celebrated worldwide as Guru Nanak Jayanti full-moon in October–November.

Complete step by step answer:
Guru Nanak was born on April 15, 1469, to Mata Tripta and Mehta Kalu in Talwandi, a village in the Sheikhupura district, to the west of Lahore, and died on September 22, 1539, in Kartarpur, at the age of 70. His father, Mehta Kalu was a Patwari. A patwari is an accountant of land revenue in the government. When Guru Nanak was seven, he was sent to school at his village. This school was run by teacher Pandit Gopal Das. Notable lore recounts that, as a child, Nanak surprised his teacher by describing the meaning of the letters of the alphabet and its implicit symbolism of the first letter which somehow resembled the mathematical version of one. It denoted the unity or oneness of God. This was an explanation of deeper truth about human beings and God and the way to realize God in terms of the alphabet,
Nanak's words are recorded in the form of 974 poetic hymns as in the holy text of Sikhism, the Guru Granth Sahib, with the inclusion of some of the major prayers. Sikh religious beliefs point that the spirit of Nanak's sanctity, divinity, and religious authority had chosen to descend upon each of the nine subsequent Gurus as the Guruship was passed on to them.
Nanak is said to have traveled far and wide across Asia teaching people the message of Ik Onkar (one God), who dwells in every one of his creations and constitutes the eternal Truth. With this concept, he was able to successfully set up a unique spiritual platform based on equality, fraternal love, goodness, and virtue.

So, the correct answer is Option :

Note: The fundamental beliefs of Sikhism, scripted in the Holy Guru Granth Sahib, includes faith and meditation in only the name of our creator. The sacred scripture also teaches us the unity of all humankind, engaging in selfless service, striving for social justice for the benefit and prosperity of all, and honest conduct and livelihood while living a householder's life. The Guru Granth Sahib is worshipped as the highest supreme authority of Sikhism and is considered the final and perpetual guru of Sikhism.
