This movement was led by a group of progressive-minded young intellectuals who sought to challenge the orthodoxies and conservative traditions of society.

Option 4, Prasanna Kumar Tagore, does not have any notable association with the Young Bengal Movement or its founding. Therefore, option 4 is not the correct answer.

In conclusion, the correct answer is option 1, Henry Vivian Derozio, as he was indeed the founder of the Young Bengal Movement.
