Solution

The correct option is D Bal Gangadhar Tilak
Bal Gangadhar Tilak, popularly known as 'Lokmanya', spent 6 years in jail from 1908 to 1914 CE. He was sent to prison in Mandalaya, Burma. He ran two popular newspapers, the Kesari and Mahratta. After his release from prison in 1914 CE, he mellowed down his revolutionary activities and founded the Home Rule League. The purpose of the League was to gain Swaraj with the help of constitutional means.
