The most accurate response is: **The name gave the impression Ottoman rulers were liked by caliphs.**
The term "sultan" carried connotations of power and authority, and by adopting this title, the Ottoman rulers aimed to legitimize their authority and align themselves with the religious and political framework of Islamic governance, including the historical legitimacy associated with the caliphate. This connection would help solidify their rule and enhance their status among both their subjects and rival powers.
