Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: D
Explanation

The journal 'Indian Social Reformer' was founded in Madras in 1890 by Kamakashi Natarajan (K. N. Natarajan), who was an associate of G. Subramaniam Iyer. The periodical was a weekly that focused on pressing social issues of the day, such as the Age of Consent Bill, and aimed to push the nationalist movement toward a more progressive stance. In 1897, Natarajan moved the journal's operations from Madras to Bombay, which was then a major center for social reform and political action. K. N. Natarajan remained the primary editor and publisher for several decades, later joined by his son S. Natarajan in 1936. While other reformers like K. T. Telang and N. G. Chandavarkar were prominent figures in the social reform movement of that era, they were not the founding editors of this specific journal [1].
