Solution

The correct option is A Akbar
Emperor Akbar studied and understood various religions of his time and formulated one of his own, known as the Din-i-Ilahi, in 1582 CE. It was also known as "Jauhind-i-Ilahi" or "Divine Monotheism". Akbar formulated this new religion because he wanted to bring about Sulh-i-Kul or universal harmony.
