Which one of the following pairs is correctly matched ?

Option 2 is correct. Guru Arjan Dev, the fifth Sikh preceptor, compiled Guru Nanak’s hymns along with those of his predecessors and other bhakti poets into the Adi Granth Sahib [1]. The Adi Granth was completed and ceremonially installed in 1604, confirming Guru Arjan’s role as the compiler of this scripture [2]. The other pairs are incorrect: the militarization and temporal authority aspects were advanced under Guru Hargobind (martial training and formation of a Sikh army), not Guru Amar Das [4]; and the Khalsa (the martial/religious body) was founded by Guru Gobind Singh, so linking Dal Khalsa to Guru Ram Das is wrong [3].
