Correct answer: (A) Swami Vivekananda
Explanation

Swami Vivekananda described education as man-making, that which forms character, increases strength of mind, expands intellect and lets a person stand on his own feet.

Rabindranath Tagore (B) spoke of education through freedom and nature, not this man-making definition.

Swami Dayanand Saraswati (C) founded the Arya Samaj and stressed Vedic education, a different emphasis.

Jawaharlal Nehru (D) promoted scientific temper but did not author this statement.

Vivekananda also defined education as the manifestation of the perfection already in man.
