Solution

The correct option is C Defended the pride of Kashmiri Pandits.
Guru Tegh Bahadur Ji went to Anandpur Sahib where he was shocked at the plight of the Kashmiri pandits. Aurangzeb was forcing them to convert to Islam. Guruji defended their pride by personally going to Delhi to confront Aurangzeb. The Emperor gave an ultimatum to Guruji: convert or be executed. The Guruji chose the latter. Guruji was publicly executed by beheading on 11 November 1675 in Chandini Chowk, Delhi.
