According to Mohammad Iqbal humans are :

  • A.Divinely created only
  • B.Evolved from matter only
  • C.Neither created nor destroyed
  • D.Both (A) and (B)

Answer: D

The key's answer is Both (A) and (B): humans are divinely created and also evolved from matter.

In his lectures on the reconstruction of religious thought Iqbal accepts evolution as the way life and mind have emerged, while holding that the human ego has a divine origin and purpose. The key reads this as accepting both statements, so options A and B each say only half and option D says both. Option C, that humans are neither created nor destroyed, is the idea of an eternal soul and does not describe Iqbal's view of man.

I could not find a passage that states both claims in one sentence, so the key is accepted on this general reading, and the explanation is not a confirmation of the exact wording.
