Official Solution & Explanation:
Correct Answer: Option A(शंकराचार्य)
अद्वैत वेदांत दर्शन के महान संस्थापक एवं प्रचारक आदि शंकराचार्य (788-820 ईस्वी) थे। उन्होंने 'ब्रह्म सत्यं जगन्मिथ्या जीवो ब्रह्मैव नापरः' (केवल ब्रह्म ही सत्य है, जगत मिथ्या/माया है और जीव वस्तुतः ब्रह्म ही है) का अद्वैत सिद्धांत प्रतिपादित किया।
Adi Shankaracharya is the foremost preceptor of Advaita Vedanta (absolute non-dualism). He established the doctrine that Brahman alone is ultimate reality, the phenomenal world is empirical appearance (Maya), and the individual Self (Atman) is identical with Brahman.
