Solution

The correct option is A It was a religion started by Akbar in 1592 CE.
Akbar started his own religion called "Din-e-Ilahi" in the year 1582 CE, not 1592 CE. This idea came up in one of the religious debates he held at the Ibadatkhana. Christianity, Hinduism, Islam, Jainism, and Zoroastrianism were some of the religions present during these discussions. During one of these debates, Din-e-Ilahi was born. The religion is said to be the complete package of the different features of different religions. Unlike other religions, Din-e-Ilahi did not have any hierarchy.
