Solution

The correct option is B Kabir
Sant Kabir was born at Benaras in about 1398 CE. It is believed that Kabir was born in Hindu family and was raised by Niru, a Muslim weaver. He was certainly the most famous disciple of Ramanand. Later, he became a harmoniser of both Hindu and Muslim beliefs and practices. His followers were known as the Kabir Panthis and his teachings are contained in his ‘dohas’. Kabir’s poetry is known till today because of its simple language and the depth of spiritual thought and experience it is imbibed with. He preached against caste distinctions, supremacy of Brahamanas, image worship, rituals, ceremonies, and pilgrimage sites. He believed that all human beings could gain access to God through sincere love and devotion.
