Solution

The correct option is C Raj Ram Mohan Roy
Raja Ram Mohan Roy was a prominent Indian social reformer and the founder of the Brahmo Samaj. He is considered as the pioneer of modern Indian Renaissance for the remarkable reforms he brought in the 18th and 19th century India. He asked the government to concentrate on modern western education and was opposed to the Sanskrit system of education as he thought it would keep the country in darkness.
