Complete answer:
The Bhakti Movement was first organized by Ramanuja. From the 7th century, the Bhakti Movement was started in South India as the revival of religion. The Bhakti movement opened the two ways to feel God one was Nirguna and the other was the Saguna. Nirguna is the way to worship the god in formless, without an idol. Saguna is just the opposite, they believe in Idol worship. The Bhakti movement brought the transformation in the devotion of people towards their God and Goddesses in medieval Hindu society. The process of Salvation became available to everyone.

Hence, answer A is the right option.

Note: Some believe that the Bhakti movement was a reform but others believe that it was not reformed but the continuation of the ideas to be found in Vedas.
Sheldon Pollock said that the Bhakti movement was neither a rebellion against Brahmins and nor a rebellion against the Cosmopolitan language like Sanskrit.
Many believed that the Bhakti movement were Brahmins and from upper castes and because much of the early and later Bhakti poetry and literature was in Sanskrit.
