The correct answer for this question is option 3, Sir Syed Ahmad Khan.

The passage describes a reformer who insisted on the cooperation of Muslims with the British government and viewed political movements with suspicion. This is in line with the beliefs and actions of Sir Syed Ahmad Khan, who was a prominent Indian Muslim reformer during the 19th century. He believed that Muslims should work with the British government and advocated for a policy of cooperation, which was known as the Aligarh movement.

Sir Syed Ahmad Khan opposed the Indian National Congress, which was formed as a political organization in 1885. He believed that the focus should be on education as the means of national progress. He established the Mohammadan Anglo-Oriental College in Aligarh, which later developed into the Aligarh Muslim University, with the aim of providing modern education to the Muslim community. Sir Syed Ahmad Khan`s emphasis on education and his ideas on political cooperation with the British government are the key factors that relate him to the passage.
