Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Concept
Historical attribution questions are solved by matching each publication to its documented founder or editor. Similar-era nationalist newspapers must be distinguished by their individual editorial associations, not merely by their shared political context.
Application
Maulana Abul Kalam Azad launched and edited the Urdu weekly Al-Hilal in Calcutta in 1912. Therefore, the publication associated with his editorship in the given list is Al-Hilal.
Contrast
Zamindar is associated with Maulana Zafar Ali Khan.
Comrade was founded and edited by Mohammad Ali Jauhar.
Al-Hilal was launched and edited by Maulana Abul Kalam Azad.
The compound alternatives do not fit because only one named publication has the requested editorial association.
Cross-check
The official BPSC question booklet lists these titles separately, and authoritative biographical material identifies Al-Hilal as Azad’s weekly while distinguishing Mohammad Ali’s Comrade. This confirms Al-Hilal as the result.
