Correct Answer:
A. نستعلیق
This question delves into the history of printing in British India, specifically at Fort William College. Established in 1800, the college was instrumental in promoting Urdu and Persian literature. It played a significant role in standardizing and printing texts, and the choice of script was crucial for its publications.
- 'نستعلیق' (A) is the correct answer. Fort William College extensively used the Nastaliq script for printing Urdu and Persian texts. Nastaliq was highly regarded for its aesthetic beauty and was the preferred calligraphic style for these languages, making it a natural choice for the college's publications.
- 'بند کو' (B) is not a recognized script and is therefore an incorrect option.
- '(Incomplete)' (C) is not a script but an indication of an incomplete option, making it invalid.
- 'ان میں سے کوئی نہیں' (D) is incorrect because Nastaliq was indeed the primary script used for Urdu printing at Fort William College.
