Answer:

Rajahmundri Social Reform Association

(a) Rajahmundri Social Reform Association established in 1878 with the aim of promoting of widow remarriage as its aim objective.
- TRUE. Historical records confirm that the association was founded in 1878 and its primary objective was indeed to advocate for and facilitate widow remarriage in the Telugu-speaking regions of the Madras Presidency.
(b) Rajahmundri Social Reform Association was established by Veeresalingam Pantulu.
- TRUE. Kandukuri Veeresalingam Pantulu was the founder of the Rajahmundri Social Reform Association.

(c) Veeresalingam Pantulu started a journal titled Indian Social Reformer in 1890.
- FALSE. The journal 'Indian Social Reformer' was started in 1890, but it was edited by K. N. Natarajan (and later by others like G. K. Devadhar). Veeresalingam Pantulu was a prominent journalist and social reformer in his own right, but the journal he is most famously associated with is 'Viveka Vardhini', which he started in 1876.
