A. Khwaja Moinuddin Chishti
B. Baba Farid
C. Nizamuddin Auliya✓ Correct Answer

💡 Solution & Explanation

Nasiruddin Mahmud, famously titled Chirag-i-Dehalvi, was the distinguished chief spiritual successor of the prominent Sufi saint Hazrat Nizamuddin Auliya. Other figures like Khwaja Moinuddin Chishti and Baba Farid belonged to earlier generations within the same lineage. He played a pivotal role in cementing the Chishti traditions in Delhi during a politically turbulent era.
