Solution

The correct option is D Sufis
Sufis were Islamic mystics who rejected elaborate religious rituals and codes of conduct and focused more on loving God because they believed that one who loves with devotion would be closer to God along with the people around him. They came to India in the 11th century from central Asia and settled in different parts of India. They got many followers. They consider devotion as a means to reach close to God.
