  2. B.Ijma
  3. C.Muqaddam
  4. D.Murid✓ Correct

Explanation

In Sufism, a 'Murid' refers to a disciple or follower who commits to spiritual guidance under a Sufi master (Pir or Murshid). The relationship between the Murid and the Murshid is central to the Sufi path of spiritual development. Jizya was a tax levied on non-Muslims in Islamic states. Ijma refers to the consensus of Islamic scholars on a point of Islamic law. Muqaddam was a village headman or local official in medieval Indian administration. Thus, only Murid is directly connected with Sufi practice.
