Solution

The correct option is B Gurmatas
In the eighteenth century, the Sikhs organised themselves into a number of bands called misls and jathas. Their combined army was known as the grand army or the Dal Khalsa. This army used to meet at Amritsar during Baisakhi and Diwali to take collective decisions known as Gurmatas, meaning 'resolutions of the Gurus'.
