Solution

The correct option is A Dadabhai Naoroji
Dadabhai Naoroji was not satisfied with the official estimates regarding the national income of India during the British rule. “The Indian Economist” was the only journal which gave such knowledge in those days. Naoroji regarded this information regarding the country’s prosperity as insufficient and misleading. He was the one who estimated India's per capita income during the colonial period.
