Solution

The correct option is B Through his works, he sought to harmonize the Islamic faith with the scientific progressive ideas.
Sir Syed Ahmad Khan wanted to transform the rigid and orthodox outlook of Muslims. He founded the Muhammadan Anglo-Oriental College at Aligarh in 1875 to impart western, scientific, rational, and progressive ideas. He kept it open for students of all religions. People from other religions also supported his efforts, and it became the Aligarh movement. He opposed polygamy and the Purdah system and advocated education of women.
