Correct Answer:
D. Urdu
The correct answer is Urdu because the university's foundational anti-colonial nationalist philosophy required a native, localized language for higher education.
- Urdu: This is the correct choice. Unlike British colonial institutions that relied heavily on English, Jamia Millia Islamia adopted Urdu as its primary medium of instruction to make learning accessible and preserve local cultural identity.
- Incorrect Options:
- English / Arabic / Persian (Modified Option 3): These are incorrect. While Arabic and Islamic texts were studied, and English was taught as a secondary language tool, the actual instructional baseline for core subjects was Urdu. Note that the corrupted filler option 'Son' was updated to 'Persian'.
