Answer:

B. Sri Narayana Guru

• Sri Narayana Guru (1856–1928) was a legendary social reformer and spiritual leader from Kerala.

• This famous motto—often translated as "Enlighten through education, strengthen through organization"—was delivered as part of his core message to uplift marginalized communities and advocate for social equality.
