Solution

The correct option is D Basavanna
Virasaiva movement emerged in Karnataka. Basavanna was the prominent leader and the propagator of the movement. He was a religious reformer and a teacher. In the 12th century, under Basavanna's leadership, a democratic platform known as "Anubhava Mandapam" came into existence. Basavanna was among the first ones to speak for the dignity of labour. He propagated the idea that every job in this world has its greatness. And so he urged every individual to take up any job and do it with utmost sincerity. Basavanna promoted the idea of understanding God through the duties an individual performs.
