Answer 1

Hint: Sir Syed Ahmed Khan was a Muslim educator, author and founder of the Anglo-Oriental College. He was mainly responsible for the revival of Islam in India in the late 19th century.

Complete answer: Sir Syed Ahmed Khan was born in 1817, in a Muslim family and was a loyalist of the British Government. He became a member of the Imperial Legislative Council in 1878. He wanted to combine western education with the Quran interpreted to be rationalism and science, even though he wanted the Quran to be the ultimate authority.
Sir Syed Ahmed Khan is best known for his Aligarh Movement - a movement which was designed to reform the social, political and economical aspect of the Muslim religion. He also founded the Scientific Society in 1863 which used to translate major works of sciences and arts into their language Urdu. He also released two journals - The Aligarh Institute and Gazette which was a part of Scientific Society and Tehzibul Akhlaq which was known as Mohammedan Social reformer in English.
His most important contribution to the field of education is the establishment of Aligarh Muslim University in 1875, which is a very famous institution. He took inspiration from modern universities like Oxford, Cambridge. He also wanted to create many more universities for Muslims and wanted to create a community of Muslims who will lead and govern these institutions, and therefore also founded All India Muslim Educational Conference.
Thus, option B is the right choice.

Note: Although his thoughts are considered regressive and considered as a reason for Hindu Muslim partition, his progressive decisions for the Muslim community left a very important mark in the history of India.
