Solution

The correct option is C Guru Nanak and Sikhism
'X' is Guru Nanak and 'Y' is Sikhism. Guru Nanak was a bhakti saint who was born in a town in present day Pakistan. His beliefs were inclusive of both Hindu and Islamic thoughts. He emphasised that pilgrimages, penances, and rituals were far less important compared to the internal changes to the individual's soul. He taught that all human beings were equal and had direct access to God. He also denounced the caste system and idol worship.
