Answer 1

The correct option is A It is the concept of a formless God.

Nirguna comes from the Sanskrit, nir, meaning “without”; guna, meaning “properties,”. Hence nirguna is a concept of a formless God which means that god do not exist in a particular form or have particular properties. In nirguna bhakti, God is worshiped in an unmanifested form.
