Hint: Vinayak Narahari "Vinoba" Bhave (11 September 1895 – 15 November 1982) was an Indian civil rights and non-violence campaigner. Often called Acharya, he is considered a National Teacher of India and a spiritual successor to Mohandas Gandhi. He was a distinguished philosopher.

Complete step by step answer:
The Bhoodan Movement (Land Grant Movement), also known as the Bloodless Revolution, is a voluntary land reform movement in India. It was initiated by Gandhian Acharya Vinoba Bhave in 1951 in the village of Pochampally now located in Telangana and is called Bhoodan Pochampally.
The Bhoodan movement tried to persuade wealthy landowners to voluntarily dedicate part of their land to landless people. Philosophically speaking, Bahav was influenced by Mahatma Gandhi’s Sarvodaya movement and Gram Swarajya. The female volunteers spread Bhoodan’s message across India. Women played an important role in the armed struggle of Telangana peasants that challenged the feudal system. As the region got rid of restrained labor, women also got rid of this torture.
In 1952, the movement expanded the concept of gramdan ("given to the village" or donation of the entire village) and began to advocate for joint ownership of land. The first village under Gramdan was Mangroth in Hamirpur District, Uttar Pradesh. The second and third grandsons were held in Orissa in 1955.
By the 1960s, the movement had lost momentum. Sarvodaya Samaj's failure to establish a mass movement will put pressure on social change. However, the movement made a major contribution by creating moral contradictions, exerting pressure on landlords, and creating conditions that are conducive to land-losing people.
So, the correct answer is Option A.

Note: : Sarvodaya is a term meaning "'Universal Uplift' " or "progress of all". This term was first introduced by Mohandas Gandhi as the title of his 1908 translation of John Ruskin's treatise on political economy 'Unto This Last', and Gandhi used the term for his own political-philosophical ideals.
