Answer: (B) Brahmo Sabha

Raja Rammohun Roy founded the Brahmo Sabha in Calcutta in 1828, later known as the Brahmo Samaj, to promote monotheism and oppose idolatry and social evils. Before that he had formed the Atmiya Sabha in 1815. His campaign led to Lord William Bentinck's abolition of sati in 1829. The Lok Sabha is the House of the People created by the Constitution, and the other two bodies have no link with him.
