D) Gopal Hari Deshmukh
Correct Answer: D
Solution :
[d] Gopal Hari Deshmukh (18 February 1823 - 9 October 1892) was a social reformer from Maharashtra. He promoted emancipation (liberation) and education of women, and wrote against arranged child marriages, dowry system, and polygamy, all of which were prevalent in India in his times.

(Noteworthily, Deshmukh belonged to the Brahmin class.) He enunciated certain 15 principles for bringing about religious reform in Hindu society.
