Solution
The correct option is A Nirguna and Saguna Bhakti movement gave the concept of worshipping God in two ways
(a) Nirguna Brahma- This form advocated the worshipping of God without any form. The followers of this group were against idol worship. They felt that God cannot be characterized by the attributes.
(B) Sagun Brahma - This form sees God in physical form. They preferred idol worship.
