Andal was one of the most famous women ___________ saints.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is option 4 i.e. Alvar.
The Alvars were Tamil poet-saints devoted to Lord Vishnu, and Andal is the only female among them. She composed devotional hymns like the Tiruppavai, expressing deep love and devotion toward Vishnu. The other options are incorrect: Nayanars were Shaivite saints devoted to Shiva, Tantric refers to practitioners of Tantra, and Sufi saints are associated with Islamic mysticism. Therefore, Alvar correctly identifies the category of saints to which Andal belonged.
