b. rejects the Hindu priesthood and all its ritual activities.
c. discards the hymn singing tradition of Hinduism.
d. uses candles, incense, and bells to please God.
b. rejects the Hindu priesthood and all its ritual activities.
Analysis:
a, c & d. Incorrect. Nanak taught that only with strong devotion shown in faith and love can one reach God.
b. Correct. Guru Nanak and his successors were deeply suspicious of formal ritual practices. He rejected the Hindu priesthood and all its ritual activities, and not just because it was connected to caste.
