Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: C
Explanation

The common element among 'The Servant of India', 'Dnyan Prakash' (also spelled Dayan Prakash), and 'Hitavada' is their association with the Servants of India Society. Founded by Gopal Krishna Gokhale in 1905, the society aimed to train national missionaries for public service and promote the interests of Indians through constitutional means [5]. Gokhale, a prominent moderate leader, established the society as a non-political organization focused on social reform and education. 'The Hitavada' began publication in 1911 specifically to project the society's views [3]. 'Dnyan Prakash' was an older Marathi journal that was later taken over by the society to serve as its daily organ [2]. 'The Servant of India' was the society's English weekly. These publications reflected the moderate nationalist ideology of Gokhale, emphasizing gradual reform and social upliftment rather than radical political agitation.
