Solution

The correct option is C saw them as propagators of new religions
Among those who were most critical of the existing social order and made a strong plea for Hindu-Muslim unity, the names of Kabir and Nanak stand out. Nanak and Kabir laid emphasis on one God, by repeating whose name and dwelling on it with love can attain salvation without distinction of caste and creed. The orthodox elements of both religions, the Brahmins and the Ulemas mustered behind the defence of the old faith and opposed both Kabir and Nanak strongly.
