A) 4th January 1809

Explanation : Louis Braille (4th January 1809 – 6 January 1852) was a French educator and inventor, best known for creating the Braille system, a tactile writing and reading system for the blind and visually impaired. Blinded at the age of 5 due to a childhood accident, Braille developed the Braille code at the Royal Institute for Blind Youth in Paris. His system uses raised dots in a six-dot cell, providing a systematic and efficient way for visually impaired individuals to read and write. Louis Braille's innovative contribution has had a profound impact on the accessibility of education and literature for the blind worldwide.
