Answer 1

Answer:

B. Yogakshema Sabha

The slogan "Make the Nambuthiri a human being" ("നമ്പൂതിരിയെ മനുഷ്യനാക്കുക") was raised by reformers like V. T. Bhattathiripad under the banner of the Yogakshema Sabha.

• Yogakshema Sabha was founded in 1908 in Aluva, with Desamangalam Sankaran Namboodiripad as its first president.

• To reform the orthodox practices of the Nambuthiri community, promote modern English education, end polygamy, and abolish social evils like the Sambandham system.

• V. T. Bhattathiripad, M. R. Bhattathiripad (M. R. B.), and E. M. S. Namboodiripad were prominent leaders involved in this movement.
