Who among the following scholars is associated with the Tibet-home theory of the Aryans?

Dayanand Saraswati

The correct answer is Option 1- Dayanand Saraswati

Swami Dayanand Saraswati is associated with the Tibet-home theory of the Aryans.

The Tibet-home theory is a fringe theory that proposes that the Aryans, a hypothetical Indo-Aryan people who spoke Proto-Indo-Aryan, originated in Tibet. This theory is based on the observation that there are some similarities between the Vedic Sanskrit language and the Tibetan language, and on the fact that some of the plants and animals mentioned in the Rig Veda are found in Tibet.

However, the Tibet-home theory is not widely accepted by scholars. Most scholars believe that the Aryans originated in Central Asia, and that they migrated to India around 1500 BC.

The other options are incorrect. Max Muller, Arthur MacDonell, and Bal Gangadhar Tilak were all scholars who proposed that the Aryans originated in Central Asia.
