Complete answer:
In Islam, Shaheed signifies a martyr. For those who are known to have embraced or even deliberately pursued their own death in order to bear witness to their religious convictions, the word is widely used as a posthumous title.

The Indian Independence Movement's Bhagat Singh was a courageous freedom fighter and revolutionary. Not only were his feelings of patriotism confined to British rule, but also to India's division into communal lines. He should have foreseen it and it's hard to find such an admired king. He was brilliant, mature and always attracted to socialism. Indeed, he was active in the non-cooperation campaign.

He was born in Punjab, India (now Pakistan), to a Sikh family on 28 September, 1907. He has been active and set an example of patriotism in the country with many revolutionary organizations.
At the age of thirteen, he left school to devote his life to Indian independence and died at the very young age of 23. He is popularly known as Bhagat Singh Shaheed-e-Azam. On March 23, 1931, he was found guilty of murdering a British police officer and hanged.

Hence, we know that Bhagat Singh was a martyr who died for the country and therefore is known as Shaheed Bhagat Singh.

Therefore, Option (C) Shaheed Bhagat Singh is the correct answer.

Note: The British were told by Bhagat Singh that they should shoot him "instead of hanging, they should kill him," but the British did not consider it. He mentioned this in his last message, in this correspondence,Bhagat Singh wrote, "Since I was arrested during the war, I cannot therefore be disciplined for just hanging. Let me be cast into a cannon's mouth.” This proves the courage of the country And feelings.

He was hanged on March 23, 1931, an hour ahead of official time. It is said to have been when he was hanging up, Bhagat Singh chuckled. This was indeed accomplished with the fearlessness of "lowered British imperialism' It is said that no judge was prepared to supervise the execution of Singh Bhagat.
