Solution

The correct option is D Shiromani Akali Dal
Earlier Gurudwaras were placed under moral Sikh teachers like Bhai Mani Singh. During the years of persecution, the Gurudwaras came under the control of the British through Mahantas. Mahantas were clergymen who were appointed by the British Governors. These Mahantas were self-serving, and the Sikhs were fed up with the immoral Mahantas. The Sikhs took matters into their own hands and passed a resolution to form a committee of Sikh representatives to administer the Gurudwaras in the place of Mahantas. Hence, two Sikh bodies were constituted: Shiromani Gurudwara Parbandhak Committee (SGPC) and Shiromani Akali Dal.
