Answer

Exam answer

(a) Raja Rammohan Roy.

Explanation

Raja Ram Mohan Roy campaigned relentlessly against Sati, and it was largely through his efforts that Lord William Bentinck abolished the practice by law in 1829. He also founded the Brahmo Samaj and is called the father of the Indian Renaissance. The others are wrong by field or period: W.C. Bonnerjee was the first Congress President, Bipin Chandra Pal an Assertive Nationalist, and Jyotiba Phule a social reformer whose work was on caste and women’s education rather than Sati.

In words

Raja Rammohan Roy.
