Solution

The correct option is A Misl
The Misl is a Sikh institution that has been prominent in Sikh history, since the eighteenth century. It refers to the sovereign states of the Sikh Confederacy. Beginning as warrior bands, the emergent misls and their sardars (chieftains) gradually established their authority over quite extensive areas.
