Solution

The correct option is B Raja Rammohan Roy
Raja Rammohan Roy was a social reformer who played a significant role in abolishing Sati. It was then abolished by Lord William Bentinck, who declared Sati a punishable offence in 1829. He also raised his voice against other social evils such as child marriage and female infanticide, and fought for women's equality and rights.
