• C. Sir Syed Ahmed Khan
• D. Sisir Kumar Ghosh

Answer 1

Answer:

B. Abdul Khadir Maulavi

• Vakkom Abdul Khadir Maulavi founded and owned Swadeshabhimani in 1905. He imported a printing press from England specifically to launch the journal to spark social reform and political awakening.

• K. Ramakrishna Pillai was appointed as the editor in 1906. His fearless, uncompromising editorials against the corrupt administration of the Travancore Diwan (P. Rajagopalachari) led to his arrest and lifelong banishment from Travancore in 1910, earning him the legendary moniker "Swadeshabhimani Ramakrishna Pillai."
