Correct:
A
Explanation
Maulana Abul Kalam Azad was the founder-editor of the Urdu weekly AlāHilal, which he started in 1912 as a nationalist and reformist journal aimed at mobilizing Indian Muslims and fostering HinduāMuslim unity. Contemporary accounts and biographical summaries note that AlāHilal became an influential, and at times controversial, organ of antiācolonial opinion; Azad also started the companion journal AlāBalagh to further these aims [2]. The other optionsāComrade, The Indian Sociologist, and Zamindarāare associated with different individuals or groups: The Indian Sociologist was published abroad by Shyamji Krishnavarma, while Zamindar was a separate newspaper, and Comrade was not Azadās journal [2].
