Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
Lingayats are followers of Basavanna, the 12th-century social reformer who rebelled against Hindu society and established a new dharma. Beerashaivism, as the name suggests, is an order of Shaiva faith, which in turn is one of the two major Vedic faiths -the other one being the Vaishnava faith.
