Explanation

The correct answer is Option 3 i.e. Bombay

The Bahishkrit Hitakarini Sabha was established in Bombay (now Mumbai) in 1924 by Dr. B.R. Ambedkar. The main objective of this organization was to work for the socio-economic upliftment of the Dalits and other marginalized communities, who were often referred to as "Bahishkrit" or the "excluded". Dr. Ambedkar founded the Sabha to promote education, social justice, and equal rights among the oppressed classes. It played a crucial role in raising awareness against untouchability and caste discrimination. The Sabha also provided legal aid, financial assistance, and support for education to the underprivileged. It was one of the earliest platforms from which Ambedkar voiced his demand for equality and dignity for the depressed classes in Indian society.
