Solution

The correct option is B Marathi
  • Bal Gangadhar Tilak was an Indian social reformer and freedom activist. He was one of the prime architects of modern India and probably the strongest advocates of Swaraj or Self Rule for India.
  • Towards his nationalistic goals, Bal Gangadhar Tilak published two newspapers viz. 'Mahratta' in English and 'Kesari' in Marathi. Both the newspapers stressed on making the Indians aware of the glorious past and encouraged the masses to be self reliant.
  • In other words, the newspaper actively propagated the cause of national freedom.
