Show answer and solution

Answer: (A) Raja Ram Mohan Roy

Raja Ram Mohan Roy founded the Brahmo Sabha in 1828, later called the Brahmo Samaj. It opposed sati, idolatry and caste rigidity and promoted modern education. Dayananda founded the Arya Samaj in 1875, Vivekananda the Ramakrishna Mission in 1897, and Keshab Chandra Sen led a later breakaway wing, so they are the traps.
