Answer 2

Answer:

‘Intelligentsia’ here means  c. intelligent people

Explanation:

• Scholars, professors, teachers, journalists, and writers make up the intelligentsia, which is a status class made up of university-educated individuals who participate in difficult mental labours in order to analyse, shape, and influence the politics, policies, and culture of their society.

• During the Russian Partitions of Poland (1772–1795) in the late 18th century, the intelligentsia status class conceptually first emerged. Etymologically, the term "intellectuals" was coined by the Polish intellectual Bronisaw Trentowski in the 19th century to refer to the university-educated and professionally active social stratum of the patriotic bourgeoisie; men and women whose intellectualism would give Poland moral and political leadership in defying the Russian Empire's cultural hegemony.

The word "intelligentsiya" was used to describe people in pre-revolutionary Russia (1917).
