Final answer:

Wazir Khan ordered the execution of the younger sons of Guru Gobind Singh Ji and was killed by Banda Singh Bahadur in the Battle of Chappar-Chiri.The correct is A.

Step-by-step explanation:

Wazir Khan was involved in the persecution of Sikhs during the rule of Mughal Emperor Aurangzeb.

In historical context, Wazir Khan is known for ordering the murder of the two younger sons of Guru Gobind Singh Ji, the tenth Guru of Sikhism. He was killed by Banda Singh Bahadur, not Fateh Singh, in the Battle of Chappar-Chiri in 1710.

This battle marked a significant moment in the resistance against Mughal persecution and the establishment of Sikh sovereignty in parts of northern India.

Therefore, the correct answer to the question "What did Wazir Khan do, and who killed him?" is not among the options provided, as the accurate historical event merges aspects of different options given.

Wazir Khan did indeed order the execution of the Sikh Guru's sons and was killed in the mentioned battle by Banda Singh Bahadur.

If the provided choices are to be used, then option a. would be the closest, but it incorrectly names Fateh Singh as the killer instead of Banda Singh Bahadur.Ths correct option is A.
