Answer 1

The correct option is B He supported the rising Nationalist Movement.

Sir Sayyid Ahmed Khan believed that Muslim community would be best served if they got along with the British Government, rather than pitch in with the rising nationalist movement. He founded a scientific society and translated many English books, especially science books into Urdu. Aligarh Mohammedan Anglo-Oriental College was established by Sir Sayyid Ahmed Khan in 1875, which was raised to the status of university in 1920.
