- AYadunandan Sharma
- BSahajanand
- CSheetla Sahai
- DTilka Manjhi
Explanation
The strong Kisan Sabha movement in Gaya district in 1931 developed under Swami Sahajanand Saraswati, founder of the Bihar Provincial Kisan Sabha (1929) and later the All-India Kisan Sabha. Yadunandan Sharma led the separate Reora (Gaya) satyagraha, Sheetla Sahai is not associated with this movement, and Tilka Manjhi led an 18th-century Santhal uprising. Hence (B) Sahajanand is correct.
