Show answer

Answer: A. 1887

Explanation

Allahabad University was formally chartered and established in the year 1887. Sir William Muir laid the groundwork for this institution of higher education. It quickly grew to become one of the premier universities in British India. The institution started out as Muir Central College before becoming a university. British colonial authorities founded several regional universities during this era. It earned the regional nickname of the Oxford of the East.

Higher education institutions in colonial India shaped the rise of nationalist leaders. It continues to function today as a prominent central university in India. Academic historians study its establishment to trace colonial educational expansion. The year 1900 marks other administrative milestones but not this university foundation. The year 1868 predates the official opening and chartering of this campus. The year 1689 falls entirely outside the era of modern Indian universities.
