The correct answer is C) B. R. Ambedkar.
Dr. B. R. Ambedkar was a towering figure in the movement for the rights of Dalits (Scheduled Castes). He founded the All India Scheduled Castes Federation (AISCF) in 1942 as a political party to represent the interests and rights of the Scheduled Castes. This party was a successor to his earlier Independent Labour Party.
Jyotiba Phule was a pioneering social reformer from Maharashtra in the 19th century who worked for the upliftment of lower castes and women. Periyar E.V. Ramasamy was a prominent leader of the anti-caste Self-Respect Movement in Tamil Nadu. M. K. Karunanidhi was a long-serving Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu and a leader of the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK), a party stemming from the Dravidian movement. While all these figures worked for social justice, the All India Scheduled Castes Federation was founded by Dr. B. R. Ambedkar.
