Answer 1

Hint:Nagarjuna is one of the most famous Buddhist philosophers and, after Lord Buddha himself, was also considered to be the greatest Buddhist philosopher.
Nagarjuna was, according to Buddhist tradition, the founder of the Madhyamika School. The Madhyamaka School is one of the important schools where Mahayana Buddhism is preached and taught to Buddhist monks and disciples.

Complete answer:
Nagarjuna is named "Einstein of India" because, similar to Einstein's theory of relativity, he promoted the theory of Sunyavada.
The explanation:-
He taught the theory of relativity and claimed that only because of a long dimension relative to it, shortness is possible. He was an Ayurvedic physician who introduced the ancient practise of western medicine to Nagarjuna. He is credited with offering knowledge regarding the circulatory system and blood tissue. A notion of emptiness and the inscription of various sutras along with writings is one of his key contributions to the theory of Buddhism.
Now lets see the options :-
Like Einstein he had a rare insight into the nature of the universe :- Nagarjuna was a great philosopher who had a rare sight into the nature of life not the universe thus this option is wrong.
He was one of the greatest physicists of all time. :- Nagarjuna was a great philosopher not physicist thus this option is wrong.
He propounded the theory of Shunyavada similar to Einstein's theory of Relativity :- Nagarjuna propounded the theory of Shunyavada similar to Einstein's theory of Relativity thus this option is correct.
He was a great dialectician :- Nagarjuna was a great philosopher not a dialectician thus this option is wrong.

Hence, the correct option is (Option C).

Note:Popular legends of the life of Nagarjuna state that through his meditative powers (siddhi) he travelled deep into the earth to the lair of the Nāga king, who was entrusted with the Prajñā Pāramitā Sutras by the Buddha. Seeing that Nagarjuna was the one Gautama prophesied who would "give vast and perfect explanations of the Buddha's teachings" , he gave him these texts to carry them back to the surface. The first part of his name (the second, arjuna, meaning "bright," "shining," or "silver") is used to describe this storey, his close association with the Prajñā Pāramitā Sutras, and his portrayal in iconography with snakes stretching over his head.
