Hint: The Guru Grant Sahib is regarded as the central religious scripture of Sikhism. Also, it is regarded by the Sikhs as the final, the sovereign, and the eternal living Guru following the lineage of the ten human Gurus of the religion.

Complete answer:
One of the classic simplifications of Sikh history pertains to the preparation of the sacred scripture which is the Guru Granth. The holy volume was compiled by Guru Arjun between A.D 1536 to 1606 and the first copy was known to have been calligraphed by Bhai Gurdas at his dictation.
The completion of the Granth Sahib was celebrated with much jubilation and many Sikhs were known to have arrived in large numbers to see the Holy Book. Guru Arjun had asked his Sikhs where the Granth Sahib be installed and the Sikhs thought of no other suitable place than Harimandir which is located in Amritsar, Punjab.
Subsequently, at dawn, the entire group marched towards Harimandir and Bhai Buddha carried the holy book on his head and Guru Arjun walked behind swinging the whisk over it.
So, the correct answer is Option C.

Note: The Granth Sahib was at last placed on the appointed seat and the Guru slept on the ground by its side. Daily, during the early hours of the morning, the holy book is taken out in state to Harmandir and brought back by night to rest in the room marked for it by Guru Arjun and this practice is still followed to this day.
