Complete answer:
The All India Depressed Classes Association was an association which was created with the purpose of uniting the backward classes and communities. Most of them belonged to the so-called lower classes and the untouchable communities. They were the worst sufferers in society due to poverty, lack of opportunities, and social discriminations. The association was formed to spread awareness and demand their rights. Let us check who organized it-
A. Mahatma Gandhi did not organize the association. Instead, Gandhi had organized the Satyagraha movements in association with the freedom movements. So, this is not the correct answer.
B. Dr. B. R. Ambedkar organized the All India Depressed Classes Association. It was done in 1930. He himself was from the untouchable community and knew the hardships they faced very well. Thus, this is the correct option.
C. Mahatma Jyotibha Phule did not organize the All India Depressed Classes Association. He was an important social activist and leader. One of his chief achievements is his campaigns to provide education to girls. Thus, this is not the correct option.
D. Since DR. B. R. Ambedkar is the correct answer, this option is incorrect.

Therefore, the correct answer is Option B.

Note:Dr. B. R. Ambedkar is one of the founding fathers of the Republic of India.
Ambedkar was conferred the Bharat Ratna posthumously in the year 1990.
Mahatma Gandhi and Dr. B. R. Ambedkar frequently disagreed and clashed in their ideologies and vision for the backward castes.
Jyotibha Phule was bestowed the title ‘Mahatma’ by Vithalrao Krishnaji Vandekar in 1888.
