The Ottoman Empire (B) is the correct answer as it is known for its cultural and religious toleration through systems like the millet system, which allowed various communities to govern themselves and practice their religions freely. This contrasts with the more intolerant Safavid Empire and while the Mughal Empire showed some tolerance, it did not institutionalize it to the same extent as the Ottomans. Therefore, the Ottoman Empire is recognized for its unique acceptance of diversity among its subjects.
