Solution

The correct option is D Encouraging polygamy
The Arya Samaj rejected the caste-based system - it advocated that no one is Shudra or Brahmin by birth. It encouraged inter-caste marriage while rejecting polygamy and child marriage. The Arya Samaj aimed to promote gender equality by declaring that men and women are equal. They encouraged people to study the Vedas and other sacred texts.
