The search did not find any credible source attributing a work titled 'Renaissance of Sciences' specifically to Al Farabi or any of the other listed figures. The term 'Renaissance of Sciences' generally refers to the revival of scientific knowledge during the Renaissance period, but no direct authorship of a work by that exact title is commonly attributed to Al Farabi, Karl Marx, Al Ghazali, or Thomas Hobbes. However, among the options, Al Farabi is the closest historically associated figure with early scientific and philosophical revival in the Islamic Golden Age, which influenced later Renaissance thought. The other figures are unrelated to such a work: Karl Marx was a 19th-century philosopher and economist, Al Ghazali was a theologian and philosopher but not known for a work titled 'Renaissance of Sciences,' and Thomas Hobbes was a 17th-century English philosopher known for political philosophy. Therefore, the answer 'A' (Al Farabi) is the most reasonable choice given the options, but the question itself is somewhat misleading as no definitive work titled 'Renaissance of Sciences' by Al Farabi is documented. The explanation has been adjusted to clarify this context.
