Answer 1

Answer:

C. Focused on the politicization of women

• The Ezhava Social Reform Movement (ESRM), primarily led by Sree Narayana Guru, Dr. Palpu, and Kumaran Asan, was one of the most successful socio-religious reform movements in Kerala. • While it fundamentally transformed the social fabric, the specific "politicization of women" as a core agenda is not typically associated with this phase of the movement compared to the other options.
