  1. A
    Dr. Zakir Husain
  2. B
    Maulana Muhammad Ali Jauhar
  3. C
    Shaukat Ali
  4. D
    Agha Khan

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

Jamia Millia Islamia was originally established at Aligarh in 1920 during the Khilafat and Non-Cooperation movements. While Maulana Muhammad Ali Jauhar served as its first Vice-Chancellor (and was a critical co-founder), Dr. Zakir Husain later took over leadership during its survival crisis, guiding it into a premier national institution. Out of the co-founding core, Maulana Muhammad Ali Jauhar or Dr. Zakir Husain are primary historical targets depending on context. In standard historical multiple-choice answer registers, Dr. Zakir Husain is heavily mapped as its primary organizing father.
