Solution

The correct option is C Raja Ram Mohan Roy
Raja Ram Mohan Roy tirelessly campaigned against discriminatory practices and social evils in the Indian society. His efforts came to fruition when the British government banned the practice of Sati in 1829. He started the Brahmo Samaj in 1828, a socio-religious reform movement and advocated monotheistic Hinduism. He is also considered as the "Father of the Indian Renaissance" by many historians.
