The Kannada linguistic movement that emphasized the use of spoken Kannada:

Navodaya
Bandaya
Bhakti
Navya

The correct answer is: A) Navodaya

Navodaya was a Kannada linguistic movement that emphasized the use of spoken Kannada. It was founded in 1915 by a group of Kannada writers and intellectuals, including P. Lankesh, K. Shivarama Karanth, and M. Govinda Pai. The movement sought to promote the use of spoken Kannada in literature, education, and government. It also campaigned for the standardization of Kannada grammar and spelling.

The Navodaya movement was successful in raising awareness of the importance of spoken Kannada. It also helped to popularize the use of Kannada in everyday life. However, the movement faced opposition from some who felt that it was promoting a lower form of Kannada. Despite this opposition, the Navodaya movement played a significant role in the development of Kannada language and literature.

The other options are incorrect because:

  • Bandaya was a Kannada literary movement that emphasized the use of simple language and everyday themes.
  • Bhakti was a religious movement that emphasized devotion to a personal god.
  • Navya was a Kannada literary movement that emphasized experimentation with form and style.
