The correct statement about the Shiromani Gurudwara Prabandhak Committee (SGPC) is option 2.

Option 1 is incorrect. The SGPC did not begin as the political wing of the Singh Sabhas in the late 19th century. The Singh Sabhas were organizations formed in the late 19th century that aimed to promote and preserve Sikh religion and culture.

Option 3 is incorrect. The SGPC was founded in 1920 as part of the Akali movement. It was not founded to reclaim control of the Sikh shrines from government-manipulated loyalist committees.

Option 4 is incorrect. The SGPC did not form the Akali Dal. The Akali Dal was a political party formed in 1920, which worked in coordination with the SGPC to reclaim control of the Sikh shrines from government control.

Therefore, only option 2 is correct - the SGPC was formed in 1920 as part of the upcoming Akali movement.
