Comments

Explanation:

Al-Khwarizmi (9th century Persian mathematician) is called the "Father of Algebra" and introduced algorithmic computation, forming the basis for modern computer science.
His work on algebra (Al-Jabr) and Hindu-Arabic numerals enabled systematic problem-solving, critical for encryption and computing.
While Ibn Sena (B) and Al-Beruni (C) were brilliant scholars, their contributions were in medicine/astronomy (B) and geography/physics (C), not computation.
