• C. 1698
• D. 1689

Hint:

Hint:
Baisakhi at Anandpur Sahib, the last year of the 1600s.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Step 1: Understanding the Question
The question asks the year in which Guru Gobind Singh founded the Khalsa Panth at Anandpur Sahib.

Step 2: Key Fact
On the day of Baisakhi in 1699, the Guru called a large gathering. Five devoted men, the Panj Pyare, offered their heads and were initiated by amrit. This created the Khalsa.

Step 3: Check option 1
1697 is not linked with the founding of the Khalsa. So option 1 is wrong.

Step 4: Check option 2
1699 is the correct year of Baisakhi at Anandpur Sahib when the Khalsa was formed. So option 2 is correct.

Step 5: Check option 3
1698 is one year too early. Nothing about the Khalsa happened then. So option 3 is wrong.

Step 6: Check option 4
1689 is ten years too early and falls in the Guru's childhood. So option 4 is wrong.

Final Answer:
The Khalsa Panth was founded in 1699. This is option 2. \[ \boxed{2} \]
