The correct answer is: "Mustafa Kemal "

Mustafa Kemal (1881-1938 ) was a Turkish revolutionary and later on, the founder of the Republic of Tarkey.

The fall of the Ottoman Empire took place after WWI. The sultanate was abolished in 1922, during the war and the occupation of Constantinople/Istambul by the victorious forces of WWI.

Kemal leaded the Turkish national movement during the Turkish Independence war (1919- 1923) against the occupation and, after the victory, the foundation of the Turkish state. Kemal became its First President and remained in office between 1923 until his death in 1938.
