Hint: One of the largest statues of the world, Statue of unity, was built in reverence to this famous personality. This landmark construction is made on the banks of river Narmada, in Gujarat, India.

Complete Answer:
A lot of freedom strugglers have been given different names according to their contributions in building the country we live in. For instance, Mahatma Gandhi is lovingly called the father of the nation.
Let us check out each of the given four alternatives one by one and see what titles were conferred to them individually.
Option (a), Swami Vivekanad or Narendranath Datta was also called as the ‘patriotic monk’.
Hence it is not the correct alternative.
Option (b), Sardar Vallabh Bhai Patel, was the first deputy prime minister of India. He is known to play a very major role in integration of India, especially after the Indo-Pakistani war of 1947. His role in unification of India, is the reason why he is very popularly known as the Iron MAn of India.
Option (c) We all know very well about the first president of India, Dr. Rajendra Prasad, he was affectionately called ‘Rajen Babu’ by the people around him.
Option (d), Aurobindo ghosh or Shri Aurobindo is also not the correct answer. He was a spiritual preacher, and had no such name conferred upon him.

Note: You can always relate the title mentioned in the question with options and the major contributions by them for the country or for their respective field, this way even if you don't know the exact answer, you will not make a mistake.
