Correct Answer:
D. Acharya PC Ray
Explanation:
The correct answer is Acharya PC Ray.
Acharya Prafulla Chandra Ray, widely regarded as the Father of Indian Chemistry, founded the Bengal Chemical Swadeshi Stores in 1901. This initiative was a key part of the Swadeshi movement, which encouraged self-reliance and the use of Indian-made products to challenge British economic dominance. Ray, a distinguished scientist and educator, established the enterprise (which evolved into Bengal Chemical and Pharmaceutical Works Ltd.) to foster entrepreneurship among Indian youth and provide an indigenous alternative to foreign-manufactured goods. His efforts were instrumental in pioneering the pharmaceutical and chemical industries in India while supporting the broader struggle for national independence.
