Q1With the efforts of which of the following was the 'Age of Consent Bill' (1891) passed?

A B. M. Malabari

B Bal Gangadhar Tilak

C Harbilas Sharda

D Mahadev Govind Ranade

Explanation

B. M. Malabari, a Parsi reformer and journalist, campaigned strongly against child marriage and for raising the age of consent, helping create pressure that led to the Age of Consent Act of 1891. Bal Gangadhar Tilak opposed colonial interference in social reform through this bill, so he does not fit the asked role. Harbilas Sharda is linked with the later Child Marriage Restraint Act of 1929, not the 1891 measure. Mahadev Govind Ranade supported social reform broadly, but the specific campaign for this bill is most closely identified with Malabari.
