Correct Answer:
C. مولوی عبد الحق
This question assesses knowledge of prominent Urdu literary figures and their significant works. "Chand Ham Asr" (چند ہم عصر) is a notable collection in Urdu literature, comprising biographical sketches and essays.
- The correct option is مولوی عبد الحق (Maulvi Abdul Haq). He is widely recognized as the author of "Chand Ham Asr" and is famously known as "Baba-e-Urdu" (Father of Urdu) for his immense contributions to the development and promotion of the Urdu language.
- Distractors: رشید احمد صدیقی (Rashid Ahmad Siddiqui) was a renowned Urdu humorist and satirist. مرداد ممت اللہ (Mardad Mumtullah) is not a recognized author of this specific work. مولانا عبد المجید سالک (Maulana Abdul Majeed Salik) was a prominent journalist, poet, and writer, but not the author of "Chand Ham Asr."
