    Correct option is B

    The correct answer is B
    Explaination:
    · The Golden Temple located in Amritsar, Punjab, is officially known as Harmandir Sahib or Darbar Sahib.
    · "Harmandir" translates to "Temple of God" (Hari = God, Mandir = Temple).
    · It is the holiest Gurdwara and the most important pilgrimage site in Sikhism.
    · The complex is built around the Amrit Sarovar (Pool of Nectar), from which the city of Amritsar gets its name.
    Information Booster:
    · The land for the site was donated by the Mughal emperor Akbar.
    · The foundation of Harmandir Sahib was laid by a Sufi saint, Mian Mir, at the request of the Fifth Sikh Guru, Guru Arjan Dev.
    · Guru Arjan Dev also compiled and installed the Guru Granth Sahib (the holy scripture of Sikhism) inside the temple in 1604.
    · The temple got its distinctive gold plating in the early 19th century under the patronage of Maharaja Ranjit Singh.
    Additional Knowledge:
    · Bangla Sahib, Delhi (A): This is a prominent Sikh Gurdwara in Delhi, associated with the eighth Sikh Guru, Guru Har Krishan.
    · San Sahib, Punjab (C): This is likely a reference to Dukh Niwaran Sahib or another local Gurdwara.
