Correct Answer:
B. Velutha
Explanation:
The correct answer is Velutha. In Arundhati Roy's novel The God of Small Things, Velutha is a member of the Paravan caste, traditionally considered untouchable in the Keralan society depicted. Despite his exceptional skills as a carpenter and mechanic at the Ipe family's factory, he faces systemic discrimination and tragic consequences due to his forbidden relationship with Ammu, an upper-caste woman. The narrative explores how the rigid social hierarchy and ancient caste laws dictate the lives and fates of the characters.
