Model Answer
Option C — Raja Rammohan Roy – Sambad Kaumudi is correctly matched. Raja Rammohan Roy founded the Bengali newspaper Sambad Kaumudi in 1821.
Explanation
- Gulamgiri was written by Jyotiba Phule, not Tilak.
- Amar Jiban (autobiography) was written by Rashsundari Devi, not Phule.
- Istri Dharam Vichar was written by Tarabai Shinde — this seems correct, but option C is the standard textbook match.
- Raja Rammohan Roy founding Sambad Kaumudi is a well-known NCERT Social Science (History — India and the Contemporary World II, Ch. 5) fact. Remember this association for MCQs.
