Solution

The correct option is B Salim Chisti

Salim Chishti was a Sufi saint of the Chishti Order during the Mughal Empire in India. The Mughal Emperor Akbar came to Chishti's home in Sikri to ask him to pray for a male heir to the throne. Chishti blessed Akbar, and soon the first of three sons was born to him. He named his first son Salim (later emperor Jahangir) in honor of Chishti.
