Answer 1

Answer: (B), (D)

The correct options are
B They are willing to die for their religion.
D Their caste should not be a factor.

The Guruji asked a question to his followers - ‘Is there anyone amongst you who is willing to sacrifice himself in the name of religion?’ The first five volunteers formed the Panj Piaras of the Khalsa. The Guruji did not consider caste when selecting the Panj Piaras as they belonged to different castes.
