Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Concept
Historical combination questions are solved by first establishing the complete set identified for the stated period and region, and only then comparing the offered combinations.
Here the governing frame is the later nineteenth-century account of missionary education in North India, rather than a general classification of every missionary organisation.
Application
The historical account identifies the Church Missionary Society, the London Missionary Society, the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel, and the Cambridge Mission to Delhi as prominently involved in high-school and college teaching across North India.
Thus all four statements—(A), (B), (C), and (D)—belong to the required set.
Contrast
The combination “(A) and (B) only” leaves out the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel and the Cambridge Mission to Delhi.
The combination “(C) and (D) only” leaves out the Church Missionary Society and the London Missionary Society.
The combination “(A), (C) and (D) only” leaves out the London Missionary Society.
Cross-check
An independent membership check gives four included societies and no exclusion, so the complete four-member combination is consistent with the source-based classification.
Result
The answer is (A), (B), (C) and (D).
