Complete answer:
Now let us look into the given options:
Option A- Saint Kabir Das was an Indian mystic poet and saint who lived in the 15th century. His poems impacted Hinduism's Bhakti movement, and his lyrics are included in Sikhism's scripture Guru Granth Sahib. He grew up in a Muslim home, but his instructor, Hindu bhakti guru Ramananda, had a profound influence on him. Thus, the option is incorrect.

Option B-In India, Amir Khusrau is recognised as 'Tuti-e-hind' in the music industry. Khusrau is regarded as one of the four great pillars of Persian literature from the fourteenth century. He was given the title of Tuti-e-Hind, Indian Nightingale. He composed music in Farsi (Persian) and Hindavi, two dialects spoken in Delhi. He is still the favourite of India's and Pakistan's qawwals. Amir Khusrau (1253-1325) had to be a gregarious person. He was the court poet of a succession of Delhi Sultans, and Nizammuddin Auliya adored him.

He was a legendary figure in the Indian subcontinent's cultural history. Khusrau has been dubbed the "father of Urdu literature" and has been dubbed the "voice of India" or "Parrot of India" (Tuti-e-Hind).
Amir Khusro, a poet-politician, was Nizamuddin's closest companion, following him around like a shadow. Khusro delighted in comparing the sight before him to the solar system, where a retinue of orbiting planets are gravitationally bound to the sun and without their magnificence and magnanimity everything withers away into waste, as he watched Nizamuddin shimmer in the centre of the courtyard, surrounded by trees, plants, and flowers and surrounded by admirers. Khusro, a mere stardust in contrast to Nizamuddin, the solar system's parental star, found his passion for the light of his life inspiring enough to write countless poems. Thus, the option is incorrect.

Option C-Kalidsa was a Classical Sanskrit author who is widely regarded as the best playwright and dramatist of ancient India. The Vedas, the Rmyaa, the Mahabharata, and the Puras are the primary sources for his plays and poems. Three plays, two epic poems, and two shorter poems are among his surviving works. Thus, the option is incorrect.

Option D-Tulsidas, also known as Goswami Tulsidas, was a Ramanandi Vaishnava saint and poet who was famed for his devotion to Rama. He wrote various popular works in Sanskrit and Awadhi, but is most known for his epic Ramcharitmanas, a vernacular Awadhi version of the Sanskrit Ramayana based on Rama's life. Thus, the option is incorrect.

While we are evaluating all the options, it is clear for us that the correct option is Option B- Amir Khushroo. Amir Khushroo is known as Tuti-e- Hind.

Thus the correct answer is option ‘B’ i.e, Amir Kushro.

Note: From Khan's qasidas to Nizami's khamsa, Khusrau was an expert in many styles of Persian poetry produced in mediaeval Persia. He used 11 different metrical systems, each with 35 different divisions. Ghazal, masnavi, qatar, rubai, do-baiti, and tarkib-band were among the verse forms he used. His contribution to the ghazal's production was important.
