    Mohammed Iqbal

    C.

    Jawaharlal Nehru

    D.

    Rabindranath Tagore

    Correct option is B

    Correct Answer: B)Muhammad Iqbal

    Explanation:
    The statement "Nehru is a patriot, while Jinnah is a politician" was made by Muhammad Iqbal, the philosopher, poet, and politician who is regarded as the ideological father of Pakistan.
    Iqbal made this remark to highlight the difference in Nehru's and Jinnah's approaches. Nehru was seen as an idealist who prioritized India's unity and progress, while Jinnah was more focused on political strategies and the creation of Pakistan.
