A- Gandhiji
B- J.L. Nehru
C- Subhaschandra Bose
D- Dr. B.R. Ambedkar

Answer 1

Hint:
Mooknayak was founded on 3rd April 1927 as an organ of the Dalit movement. It was the first journalistic endeavor for an editor. The newspaper's title was possibly influenced by the quartet written by the 17th century poet Marathi Bhakti, Tukaram (1608-1650).

Complete answer:
Mooknayak (The Chief of the Voiceless) was a fortnightly Marathi newspaper published on alternate Saturdays from Bombay that began in 1920 by Babasaheb Ambedkar. By then he was 29.

It was his first endeavor as a journalist. The newspaper's title was possibly influenced by the quartet written by the 17th century poet Marathi Bhakti, Tukaramam (1608-1650).
In launching this newspaper, Ambedkar tried to put forth his own point of view on issues such as the evils of untouchability, the socio-economic status of 'untouchables', their place in Hindu society, any improvement in their status, etc. Its goal was to shed light on the injustice that exists on untouchables (Bahishkrit), to give voice to the atrocities that will occur on untouchables in the future, and to have a debate and form the untouchables' future.
In mainstream Hindi or Marathi papers, these issues and questions have so far not been found to be adequately represented. Ambedkar was attempting to put these problems to the limelight.

In the span of six months, Ambedkar is believed to have edited 12 issues. Pandhurang Nandram Bhatkar was the first official editor of Mooknayak.

Therefore the correct answer is D

Note
Dr. B.R Ambedkar belonged to an untouchable caste called Mahar and was a reformist and freedom fighter. He made several motions against untouchability. Among the Dalits, he built consciousness and self identity. To articulate the issues of Dalits, he edited Mookanayak and Bahiskruth Bharat periodicals.
