Hint: Ayyankali (1863-1914), born in Kerala, was a leader of the lower castes and Dalits. With his efforts, Dalits got the freedom to walk on public roads, and Dalit children were allowed to join schools. He formed Sadhu Jana Paripalana Sangham (SJPS) to work for low castes.

Complete answer:
Sadhu Jana Paripalana Sangham (SJPS) Efforts to organise the “depressed classes” and particularly the untouchable castes predated the nationalist movement, having begun in the second half of the nineteenth century. Now let’s see what was the aims of organisation,
The main objective of this organisation was to bring the untouchable poor together and work for these low castes, Dalits didn't have the right to walk freely with upper caste people on public roads, but the organisation gave the right of Avarnas to walk freely along the public roads.
Students of depressed class were not getting admission in schools but Sadhujana Paripalana sangham organisation work on getting admission to Dalits students to whichever school they want. According to this reservation provision was done for dalit caste students.
The low caste people had been working for their masters day and night all round the year, and never had a day’s rest. Ayyankali asked the Pulayas to work in the fields of their landlords only six days in a week and observe Sunday as a holiday. Also they work on getting better wages for workers.
All the above is a answer for this question as all aims are satisfied by 'Sadhujana Paripalana Sangham'

Hence the correct answer is option D.

Note: The Sadhu Jana Paripalana Sangam (SJPS) was formed under Ayyankali’s leadership in 1907. The organization was not meant for any single caste but it unified all depressed servile people (sadhu janam ). Thus, Ayyankali was successful in creating a platform for the Dalits for the first time. Ayyankali established the Sadhu Jana Paripalana Sangam with a view of activating his community to seek the path of progressive change and reform.
