Correct answer is D.
Explanation: Sir Syed Ahmad Khan’s ambitious undertaking was the foundation of the Scientific Society, which published translations of many educational texts and issued a bilingual journal— in Urdu and English. At about the same time a movement started at Benares to replace Urdu with Hindi. It convinced Sayyid that the paths of the Hindus and the Muslims must diverge. A Muslim school was established at Aligarh in May 1875, and, after his retirement in 1876, Sayyid devoted himself to enlarging it into a college. In January 1877 the foundation stone of the college was laid by the viceroy. Sayyid advised the Muslims against joining active politics and to concentrate instead on education. Later, when some Muslims joined the Indian National Congress, he came out strongly against that organization and its objectives, which included the establishment of parliamentary democracy in India. He argued that, in a country where communal divisions were all-important and education and political organization were confined to a few classes,parliamentary democracy would work only inequitably. In 1886 Sayyid organized the All-India Muhammadan Educational Conference, which met annually at different places to promote education and to provide the Muslims with a common platform. Until the founding of the Muslim League in 1906, it was the principal national centre of Indian Muslims.
