The correct answer is B) Vinoba Bhave.

Acharya Vinoba Bhave initiated the Bhoodan Movement (Land Gift Movement) in 1951 in Pochampally, Telangana. This voluntary movement aimed to persuade wealthy landowners to voluntarily donate a part of their land to landless people.

Vinoba Bhave was a disciple of Mahatma Gandhi and continued Gandhi’s philosophy of non-violence and social reform. The Bhoodan movement later evolved into the Gramdan movement, where entire villages were donated. While inspired by Gandhian ideals, the movement was directly initiated and led by Vinoba Bhave.
