  1. a.Tegh Bahadur

  3. c.Govind Singh
  4. d.Arjun Dev

Answer: (A) Tegh Bahadur

Guru Tegh Bahadur was executed on Aurangzeb's orders in 1675 for refusing to convert to Islam. This is worth distinguishing from Guru Arjun Dev, who was executed earlier, under Emperor Jahangir, not Aurangzeb — a common point of confusion in this exact question type.
