A. Ramananda
B. Vallabhacharya✓ Correct Answer
C. Madhvacharya
D. Nimbarka
💡 Solution & Explanation
Vallabhacharya founded the Pushtimarga tradition, which centers on the devotional worship of infant Krishna based on the philosophy of Shuddhadvaita. Other medieval reformers like Madhvacharya propagated Dvaita philosophy rather than this specific Krishna-centric path. Bhakti movement saints are important for both history and culture sections.
