Solution

The correct option is A N.C. Kelkar
The British suspended the separation of the Bengal state, in 1911, after all the Bengali people demanded unification of the Bengali population. On this background, N.C. Kelkar was the first one to propose that the entire Marathi speaking population should be under one dominion.
