The correct answer is
Aurobindo Ghose

The correct answer is Aurobindo Ghose.

Aurobindo Ghose was a prominent Indian nationalist, philosopher, and spiritual leader. He played a significant role in the early years of Indian nationalism and is known for his contribution to the establishment of several educational institutions. Among his various contributions, he was the first principal of the Bengal National College, which was founded in 1906. The college was established as a response to the nationalist movement’s dissatisfaction with the existing educational system in British India and sought to offer a nationalist-oriented education. It was a pivotal institution in shaping the intellectual and political landscape of Bengal during that era.

While other individuals listed—Satish Chandra Mukherjee, Rash Behari Ghosh, and Subodh Chandra Mullick—were also important figures in the Indian independence movement and education, none of them held the position of first principal of the Bengal National College. Their contributions lie in other significant areas of the nationalist struggle and the development of educational institutions.
