Hint: S. Satyamurti was a leading advocate, freedom fighter, legendary parliamentarian, and a fine human being who contributed to the development of modern India through his legislative skills and his unfailing struggle against the British bureaucracy Legislature.

Complete answer:
Sundara Sastri Satyamurti was born in Thirumayam (Pudukkottai) in present-day Tamil Nadu on August 19, 1887. He was an Indian independence revolutionary and a prominent Madras Presidency Congress politician.

Sundara Sastri Satyamurti was an Indian politician and independence activist. He was acclaimed for his propaganda and was one of the foremost politicians of the Indian National Congress from the Madras Presidency, besides C. Rajagopalachari, S. Srinivasa Iyengar, and Prakasam. Satyamurti is known as the mentor of K. Kamaraj, Chief Minister of Madras State, from 1954 to 1962. On March 28, 1943, he was killed in action.

Additional Information: Satyamurti took part in anti-partition, anti-Rowlatt Act, anti-Jallianwala Bagh massacre, and anti-Simon Commission demonstrations. Satyamurti was imprisoned in 1942 as a result of his involvement in the Quit India Movement. He was eventually released but died of heart failure on March 28, 1943.

From 1930 to 1934, Satyamurti was the President of the Swaraj Party's regional wing, and from 1936 to 1939, the Tamil Nadu Congress Committee. From 1934 to 1940, he was a part of the Imperial Legislative Council and Mayor of Madras from 1939 to 1943.

Thus the correct answer is option ‘B’.

Note: Satyamurti's work earned him the title Dhirar. In the year 1987, a stamp honouring him was issued. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam unveiled a statue of him in Parliament House on October 1, 2002.
