Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: A
Explanation

Vasudeo Balvant Phadke, often called the 'Father of Indian Armed Rebellion', was deeply influenced by the socio-economic distress of his time. The devastating Deccan famine of 1876-77 [4] and the British government's negligent response profoundly impacted him, leading him to organize the Ramosi Peasant Force in 1879 [5]. He was also influenced by the 'Drain of Wealth' theory popularized by Dadabhai Naoroji [2], which explained India's systemic poverty as a result of British exploitation. Furthermore, Phadke was a proponent of Hindu revivalism, seeking to re-establish a Hindu Raj to end foreign rule. While Jyotirao Phule was a contemporary social reformer in Maharashtra [3], his reformist ideas focused on caste abolition and gender equality, which were distinct from Phadke's militant nationalist and revivalist focus. Thus, influences 1, 2, and 3 are correct.
