Solution

The correct option is D Nirankari Movement - believed in God with a form.
Baba Dayal Das founded the Nirankari Movement which stressed the worship of God as Nirankar, or formless. He tried to reiterate the prohibition on eating meat and consuming liquor. The Namdhari Movement was founded by Baba Ram Singh. The Namdharis insisted on wearing the symbols of Sikhism, except the kirpan. Baba Ram Singh wanted his followers to carry a lathi instead. The Namdharis believed in gender equality. They accepted widow remarriage, and even prohibited dowry and child marriage.
