Who among the following Arab scholars made corrections to Ptolemy's book ?
Answer: B
Al-Idrisi, the twelfth-century Arab geographer who worked at the court of Roger II of Sicily, made corrections to Ptolemy's work and drew a world map and a book of geography. Al-Masudi is known as the Herodotus of the Arabs, Ibn Khaldun for the study of history and society and Ibn Batuta for his travels. So the answer is Al-Idrisi. Al-Idrisi's book is called the Book of Roger and the map he drew for the Norman king was a notable improvement upon the earlier Greek maps.
