The correct answer is Option 4 i.e. Nibandhmala

Vishnushastri Chiplunkar started a monthly Marathi magazine called "Nibandhmala" in 1874 to promote social reform and intellectual awakening in Maharashtra. Through this publication, he aimed to educate the masses, spread modern ideas, and encourage critical thinking. "Nibandhmala" played a significant role in inspiring the youth and reformers of the time by addressing pressing social issues, such as caste discrimination, education, and the need for modernization. Chiplunkar used his powerful writing to challenge orthodox beliefs and support progressive change. The magazine became a platform for literary and cultural discussions, contributing significantly to the social reform movement in 19th-century India. His efforts laid the foundation for future reformers and writers in Marathi literature and Indian society.
