In what year was NC A&T founded?

• A. 1900
• B. 1865
• C. 1891
• D. 1920

Answer: (C)

NC A&T was founded in 1891. It began as the North Carolina College of Agriculture and Mechanic Arts for the Colored Race, established by the state under the land‑grant framework to provide higher education for African American students in fields like agriculture and engineering. That timing places the school's origins in the late 19th century, well before the other listed years. The other dates don’t match the institution’s actual founding period: 1865 is the end of the Civil War era, while 1900 and 1920 are later than the founding.
