Option 1: I and II are not correct. Arya Samaj was not founded in 1835 but in 1875 by Swami Dayananda Saraswati. Moreover, Lala Lajpat Rai was a believer in the principles of Arya Samaj and advocated for the reform programs that the samaj undertook, making the second statement incorrect.

Option 2: Statement II, as previously discussed, is incorrect. Statement III is correct. Keshab Chandra Sen, as a leader of Brahmo Samaj, did indeed campaign for women`s education.

Option 3: Statement II is incorrect. While Vinoba Bhave did establish the Sarvodaya movement, it wasn`t precisely to work among refugees but for the upliftment of the society.

Option 4: As mentioned, statement III is correct. Statement IV is partly correct, Vinoba Bhave did found the Sarvodaya movement, but it wasn`t specifically aimed at refugees. It`s a broader movement for the welfare of all. Although not entirely accurate, option 4 comes closest to being correct among the given choices.
