________ established 'Guru Granth Sahib' at the apex of Sikhism.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. Guru Gobind Singh.

Guru Gobind Singh, the tenth Sikh Guru, established the 'Guru Granth Sahib' at the apex of Sikhism. In 1708, before his death, he declared that there would be no more human Gurus after him, and that the Guru Granth Sahib, the holy scripture of the Sikhs, would be the eternal Guru. This significant decision marked the transition of spiritual authority from a living Guru to the sacred text, emphasising its central role in guiding the Sikh community's spiritual and moral life.
