Explanation:

The BASIC (Beginner's All-purpose Symbolic Instruction Code) programming language was developed in 1964. **John G. Kemeny (b)**, along with Thomas E. Kurtz, created BASIC at Dartmouth College. Their primary goal was to make computer programming accessible to students from all disciplines, not just science and mathematics majors, by designing a simple and easy-to-learn language. **Nicol Berlt (a)** is not a recognized figure in the development of BASIC or any major programming language. **Grace Moonie Hoper (c)** is likely a misspelling of Grace Hopper, a pioneer in computer programming who developed the first compiler and was instrumental in the creation of COBOL, but not BASIC. **Jim Clark (d)** is known for co-founding Silicon Graphics and Netscape, not for developing BASIC. Since John G. Kemeny is the correct developer, option (e) is incorrect.
