  1. AI, II, III and IV
  2. BII and IV
  3. CI, III and IV
  4. DI, II and IIICorrect

Explanation

The correct answer is D because pairs I, II, and III are historically accurate, while pair IV is incorrect. Theodore Beck was the first principal of the Mohammadan Anglo Oriental College in Aligarh and played a key role in its early development. The Ilbert Bill was introduced during the viceroyalty of Lord Ripon in 1883, seeking to allow Indian judges to try Europeans. Pherozeshah Mehta was a prominent founding member and a former president of the Indian National Congress. Badruddin Tyabji was a leader of the Indian National Congress and served as its first Muslim president. He was not associated with the Muslim League, which was founded much later in 1906. Since statements I, II, and III are right and IV is wrong, option D is the correct choice.
