B. Vitthal Ramji Shinde✓ Correct Answer
C. Jyotirao Phule
D. Mahadev Govind Ranade

💡 Solution & Explanation

Maharshi Vitthal Ramji Shinde founded the Depressed Classes Mission of India in Bombay in 1906 to provide educational facilities and work for the removal of untouchability among marginalized communities. While B.R. Ambedkar later led massive movements for depressed classes, he did not establish this specific 1906 mission. Social reform movements in western India form an important segment of modern Indian history questions.
