The correct answer is (A) Ghanshyam Das Birla.

Ghanshyam Das Birla was a prominent Indian businessman and a close associate and supporter of Mahatma Gandhi. He favoured what he saw as ‘healthy capitalism’, believing that business, conducted ethically, could contribute to national development and support the freedom struggle.

G.D. Birla provided significant financial support to Gandhi and the Indian National Congress. He often acted as a mediator between Gandhi and the British government and used his position to advocate for India’s independence. He articulated a vision of Indian capitalism that was socially responsible and aligned with nationalist goals, contrasting it with exploitative forms of capitalism.
