The correct option is A) Misl.

The Sikh confederacy in the 18th century, consisting of twelve sovereign territories, was known as the Misls.

After the decline of the Mughal Empire, the Sikhs organized themselves into twelve independent groups or armies, called Misls, under their own chiefs. These Misls controlled different regions of the Punjab until Maharaja Ranjit Singh unified them into a single Sikh Empire in the early 19th century.
