Official Solution & Explanation:
Correct Answer: Option B(अगस्त्य)
पौराणिक एवं ऐतिहासिक परंपरा के अनुसार, महर्षि अगस्त्य को विंध्याचल पर्वत पार कर दक्षिण भारत में वैदिक संस्कृति के प्रसार (आर्यीकरण) का श्रेय दिया जाता है। उन्हें तमिल भाषा और तमिल व्याकरण का आदि प्रवर्तक भी माना जाता है।
According to legend and traditional history, Maharshi Agastya crossed the Vindhyas to propagate Vedic culture and traditions in South India (Aryanization). He is also traditionally revered as the founding father of the Tamil language and its grammar.
