This question was previously asked in
SSC CGL 2017 (Tier 1) Previous Year Paper (16-Aug-2017) (Shift 1)
The correct answer is

Guru Gobind Singh

The Khalsa was founded by the tenth Sikh Guru, Guru Gobind Singh, on Vaisakhi day, 13 April 1699 at Anandpur Sahib. He administered Amrit (nectar) to the Panj Pyare (Five Beloved Ones) and then received it from them, creating a casteless, militarised brotherhood bound by the Five Ks.

Guru Nanak founded Sikhism; Guru Angad developed Gurmukhi; Guru Tegh Bahadur was the ninth Guru — none initiated the Khalsa.
