Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Step 1: Identifying the Incorrect Pair- James Mill is incorrectly labeled as a Feminist Historian. In reality, he was a Colonial Historian, known for his work The History of British India, where he divided Indian history into Hindu, Muslim, and British periods, reflecting a Eurocentric perspective. Friedrich Max Müller was correctly identified as an Orientalist Scholar, known for his studies on Sanskrit literature and the translation of the Rigveda. Justice Mahadev Govind Ranade was a Nationalistic Historian and a social reformer advocating for Indian self-governance. Damodar Kosambi was a Marxist Historian, applying historical materialism to study ancient Indian history.
