Hint:Khalsa represents a much more purified and refined aspect of Sikh community in terms of religion that was initiated by one of the celebrated Sikhs of all time, Guru Gobind Singh. The day is known as Baisakhi Day and is celebrated on April 13 of each year. His declaration of this ‘new’ Sikh community has three aspects; it redefined the authority within the Sikh community, it created a new initiation ceremony along with a new code of conduct, and it provided the community with a new vision, both religiously and politically. Khalsa is used to denote both the body of initiated Sikhs and the community of all Sikhs.

Complete answer:
 Khalsa Panth is an international community of Khalsa [ baptised Sikhs] or Sikhs. It is a title given to the religious outline and the community which is in control over the functions taken by the global Khalsa community. "Khalsa" is nothing but the group of people who consciously decided to follow the remastered path of life laid down by Guru Gobind Singh, the tenth Sikh Guru. It is known as the manner of life followed by the Khalsa community, who are self-managed through their democratic and collective wishes.

Khalsa was forged in the Baisakhi festival in 1699 , since then this community has existed as a separate group. They are completely indulged in their own local groups but also aware of its social and spiritual responsibility as stipulated by the tenth master. Unlike other societies, this group did not lay claim to territory or land and property, even when they had rightfully defeated their aggressive opponents.

Hence, the correct answer is option (D).

Note: In the history of world religions, the basic premises of the spirituality of the Khalsa are special. So too is the identity of the consciousness that it creates. A variety of underlying paradoxes are overcome, such as those between engagement and renunciation, sympathy and bravery, courage and non-violence, justice and pardon. In the Khalsa, it shows disciplined spontaneity and an unwitting happy trust (Chardi Kala).
