Option d is the correct answer The term "Dastar-Bandan" referred to high-ranking Muslim scholars and jurists during the Sultanate and Mughal periods in India. The title symbolized their authority and respect, as "dastar" means turban and "bandan" means to tie in Persian. So, "dastar-bandan" literally means "one who ties a turban." The Dastar-Bandan also served as advisors to the emperors on religious matters, drawing from the knowledgeable ranks of the ulema, or Islamic scholars, who held significant education and reverence.
