Option D

B, C and D only

Solution :

The correct answer is B, C and D only.

To understand why this option is correct, let us analyze the historical facts regarding the Tractarian Movement (also known as the Oxford Movement):

1. Statement [A] is incorrect:
The Tractarian Movement was a movement of high church members of the Church of England which eventually developed into Anglo-Catholicism. It was not widespread across the world; rather, it was centered primarily in England, specifically at the University of Oxford.

2. Statement [B] is correct:
The key leaders of the Oxford Movement included John Henry Newman (often referred to in historical contexts in association with the movement, though "Paul Newman" here is likely a slight typographical variation or representation in the question for Newman), R. H. Froude (Richard Hurrell Froude), John Keble, and Edward Bouverie Pusey.

3. Statement [C] is correct:
The movement is historically recognized to have begun on July 14, 1833, when John Keble preached his famous assize sermon on "National Apostasy" at Oxford.

4. Statement [D] is correct:
Edward Bouverie Pusey, a prominent Hebrew professor at Oxford, joined the movement and gave it influential cohesion, academic weight, fame, and a distinct social class.

5. Statement [E] is incorrect:
The ideals of the Tractarians and the Oxford Movement were met with great hostility and opposition by the Oxford Convocation and authorities, rather than being praised by them. In fact, many of their tracts and ideals were condemned by the university authorities.

Therefore, statements B, C, and D are the only true statements among the choices, making B, C and D only the correct option.
