C) Nizam of Hyderabad

D) Viceroy of India

Answer 2

B) Maharaja of Baroda

Explanation:

• Ambedkar's education in Mumbai, the US, and London was funded by Saiyyaji Rao Gaekwad III, the ruler of the princely state of Baroda. Not only did  Gaekwad fund Ambedkar's education, on Ambedkar's return to India, Gaekwad had also given him a job
• Ambedkar grew up with severe experiences of caste oppression. He was not permitted to sit next to ‘higher-caste’ students. With his unappeasable hunger for knowledge and brilliance, he availed a scholarship offered by Sayajirao Gaekwad,  and went to study at the New York City’s Columbia University
