Solution

The correct option is C Dhondo Keshav Karve
The education of women was a prime agenda for many of the social reformers of the 19th century. Many institutes came up in this period to promote women's education, such as the Indian Women's University, established by DK Karve in 1916 in Maharastra. In 1920, the university was renamed Shreemati Nathibai Damodar Thackersey Women's University.
