Explanation

Henry Thomas Colebrooke, the British civil servant and pioneering Sanskrit scholar, was appointed Professor of Hindu Law and Sanskrit at the College of Fort William in Calcutta in 1805. The college had been founded by Lord Wellesley in 1800 to train East India Company officials in Indian languages and law. Colebrooke held the chair until 1815 and is known for his pioneering works on Sanskrit grammar and Hindu law. Although he later became president of the Asiatic Society of Bengal, his professorship was at Fort William College. Hence option A is correct.
