Answer 1

The correct option is D Misl (I): Sukerchakia Misl

The Sukerchakia Misl was founded by Mahan Singh. He was succeeded by his son, Ranjit Singh, who covered the Harminder Sahib with gold leaf out of respect for the Guru. Thus, came into existence the name, 'Golden Temple'.
The Phulkian Misl was founded by Chaudhary Phul, a disciple of Guru Har Rai in 1627. It had control over Patiala, Jind, and Nabha.
