Answer:

1-a successor of a prophet

Step-by-step explanation:

the closest to an answer I could find is:

"caliph, meaning deputy or representative. All caliphs are believed to be the successor to Prophet Muhammad"

and caliphs were also known as 'a spiritual and political leader', so generally 1 is your best bet!
