    Solution

    Mahadev Govind Ranade was one of the early leaders of the Prarthana Samaj, joining the movement in 1867 and the Poona Prarthana Samaj in 1869. The Prarthana Samaj was a social and religious reform organization that emerged during India's social reform movement in the 19th century. Ranade was a distinguished scholar, social reformer, and judge who advocated for women's education, widow remarriage, and the abolition of child marriage. The other options represent leaders of different reform movements: Keshab Chandra Sen was associated with the Brahmo Samaj, Balak Singh founded the Namdhari movement, and Swami Sahajanand was involved in the peasant movement.
