Correct answer: (C) 3, 4 & 5 only
Explanation

The English system of higher education fostered a rise in social consciousness, an emphasis on material prosperity and familiarity with western literature and science.

Statement 3 is a genuine outcome, as western education awakened reformist and national awareness among Indians.

Statement 4 is a genuine outcome, since new economic and utilitarian outlooks gained ground.

Statement 5 is a genuine outcome, because learners gained access to western literary and scientific knowledge.

Statement 1 is false, as the new system disrupted rather than preserved the old educational order.

Statement 2 is not among these outcomes, as it does not describe a recognised result of the English system.
