Answer 1

Hint:It emphasises deep, single-minded devotion to God. It was a complete self-surrender to God. The movement that mainly stressed these concepts was the devotion to God of the Bhakti movement. God's bhakti was acknowledged as salvation.

Complete answer:
The Bhakti movement's saints denied the distinction between caste and Uati.' An significant aspect that contributed to the success of the Bhakti movement was that, by emphasising that Rama and Rahim were one and the same, most of the proponents of this movement attempted to resolve the contradictions between Hindus and Muslims. They condemned the animosity of the Pandits and Mullas fanatics alike.
The saints of Bhakti tried to establish an atmosphere of good will between Hindus and Muslims.
The Bhakti saints have also been social reformers. There were many social evils they opposed.

Hence, the correct option is (Option D).

Note:The saints of Bhakti believed in equality between men and men. There was no differentiation and recognition of high and low on the basis of birth, according to them. They had their doors open to all classes.
