Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: C
Explanation

Ebrahim Alkazi was a towering figure in Indian theatre and theatre education. He founded the Alkazi Foundation for the Arts, linking his name firmly to theatrical and cultural work in New Delhi [1]. He is widely described as a theatre legend and the long-serving director of the National School of Drama (NSD), credited with producing landmark plays and mentoring generations of actors and directors, which establishes his prominence in theatre training. Official records and art-education sources note his leadership role at NSD (including being its first director/longest-serving director) and his major influence on modern Indian stage practice, confirming that his eminence lies in theatre training rather than medicine, aviation, or engineering [2].
