BCalcutta, Madras and Bombay ✓ Correct

CCalcutta, Bombay and Hyderabad

DCalcutta, Banaras and Hyderabad

Correct answer: (B) Calcutta, Madras and Bombay

Explanation

India's first modern universities were established in 1857 at Calcutta, Madras and Bombay.

Pairing Calcutta and Madras with Hyderabad is inaccurate for 1857.

Listing Calcutta and Bombay with Hyderabad misstates the trio.

Placing Banaras with Calcutta and Hyderabad is also wrong for that year.

These three presidency universities were modelled on the University of London.

They marked the start of India's modern university system under British rule.
