Not attemptedCorrect Answer: (c) an anti-caste movement in Maharashtra
Satya Shodhak Samaj, founded by Jyotirao Phule in 1873 in Maharashtra, campaigned against caste discrimination and for the upliftment of Shudras and Dalits—hence it was an anti-caste movement in Maharashtra, not a tribal, temple-entry or peasant movement elsewhere.
