Solution

The correct option is D To promote and propagate Sikhism.
Guru Arjan Dev Ji needed monetary backing to fund projects to solve water shortage problem in villages and to build towns. Thus, he crowdfunded these projects by requesting every Sikh to donate a fraction of their income. This system was called the Masand system. Besides collecting donations, Masands also propagated the teachings of the Guru.
