The question asks about the only Hindu courtier of Akbar who accepted Din-i-Ilahi. Din-i-Ilahi was a syncretic religion promoted by Akbar that blended elements of different faiths. Option 1, Todermal, is incorrect as he was a finance minister and not a Hindu courtier. Option 3, Tansen, is incorrect as he was a legendary musician and not a courtier. Option 4, Man Singh, is incorrect as he was a Rajput general and not a Hindu courtier. The correct answer is option 2, Birbal. Birbal was one of the Navaratnas (nine gems) of Akbar`s court and was known for his wit and intelligence. He was a trusted advisor and confidant of Akbar and accepted the Din-i-Ilahi.
