The correct answer is: C) Social reform.
The Navodaya Movement was a social reform movement that began in Karnataka in the early 19th century. It was led by social reformers such as B.R. Ambedkar, who campaigned for the rights of Dalits (formerly known as “untouchables”). The movement also focused on issues such as women’s rights, education, and economic development.
Option A is incorrect because the Navodaya Movement was not primarily concerned with literary renaissance. While some of its leaders were also writers and poets, the movement’s focus was on social reform.
Option B is incorrect because the Navodaya Movement was not primarily concerned with temple construction. While some of its leaders were also involved in temple construction, this was not a major focus of the movement.
Option D is incorrect because the Navodaya Movement was not primarily concerned with environmental activism. While some of its leaders were also concerned about environmental issues, this was not a major focus of the movement.
