Not attemptedCorrect Answer: (b) 2 only
The Lodi dynasty fell and Babur established Mughal rule in 1526. Guru Nanak (1469-1539) was alive and preaching during this period, whereas Dadu Dayal was born later in 1544 and Tyagaraja much later in 1767. Therefore only Guru Nanak fits the time-frame, making option (b) correct. ([en.wikipedia.org](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guru_Nanak?utm_source=openai))
