Explanation

The correct answer is option 4 i.e. Guru Gobind Singh.

The Khalsa Panth was founded by Guru Gobind Singh, the tenth and last of the human Sikh Gurus. He formally established the Khalsa on Vaisakhi in 1699 at Anandpur Sahib.This significant event transformed the Sikh community into a collective of "saint-soldiers," committed to defending justice and religious freedom. Guru Gobind Singh initiated the "Panj Pyare" (Five Beloved Ones) and introduced the five Ks, distinct articles of faith worn by initiated Sikhs, fostering a unique and disciplined identity.
