Solution
The correct option is C Theosophical Society and Arya Samaj
The Theosophical Society was founded by Madame Blavatsky and Col. Olcott in 1875 in New York. Mrs. Annie Besant made the movement very popular in India. It represented both Indian and international character. It preached universal brotherhood of men irrespective of distinctions of caste, creed, race or sex. The Arya Samaj was founded in 1875 by Swami Dayanand Saraswati. Its aim was to reestablish the Vedas, the earliest Hindu scriptures, as revealed truth. The Arya Samaj rejects idolatry and believes that there is only one God, but that God takes on an infinite number of forms.
