Official Solution & Explanation:
Correct Answer: Option B(गंगेश)
मिथिला के आचार्य गंगेश उपाध्याय (12वीं-13वीं शताब्दी) को नव्य-न्याय संप्रदाय का औपचारिक एवं वास्तविक संस्थापक माना जाता है, जिन्होंने अपनी महान कृति 'तत्त्वचिंतामणि' की रचना कर भारतीय तर्कशास्त्र में नव्य-न्याय की वैज्ञानिक प्रणाली स्थापित की। यद्यपि 10वीं शताब्दी के उदयन (कुसुमांजलि के रचयिता) को इसकी आधारशिला रखने वाला माना जाता है, औपचारिक संस्थापक गंगेश ही हैं। (UPPSC ने b और d दोनों को माना था)।
Acharya Gangesha Upadhyaya of Mithila (12th–13th century AD) is universally acclaimed as the formal founder of the Navya-Nyaya (Neo-Logical) school through his seminal treatise 'Tattvachintamani'. Earlier, 10th-century logician Udayanacharya had prepared the philosophical groundwork in 'Nyayakusumanjali'. Both Gangesha (b) and Udayana (d) are seminal, with Gangesha standing as the definitive founder.
