Correct Answer is :

C) Abu Bakr as-Siddiq (R.A)

Description:

After the death of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), many memorizers of the Quran were lost in battles, raising concerns about preserving the Quranic text.

Umar ibn al-Khattab (R.A) suggested to Abu Bakr as-Siddiq (R.A) that the Quran should be compiled into a single book. In response to this critical need, Abu Bakr (R.A) ordered Zaid ibn Thabit (R.A) to undertake the task of compiling the Quran.

This effort ensured the preservation and consistency of the Quranic text for future generations (Sahih Bukhari 4986).
