Solution

The correct option is B Both I and II
During medieval period discrimination on the basis of caste, sex, religion was at the boom. People believed in untouchability and to fulfil useless rituals. Due to these practices, people were suffering and as a result different saints, poets and social reformers gave birth to the Bhakti movement. Though the ideology of different saints might differ yet they all were agreed on the following points
(1) God is one and we all are his children.
(2) We can achieve God and can feel his presence by devotion.
(3) The purity of soul can connect a person with God.
