Correct Answer : Option c

Explanation
Statement 1 is correct: Karsondas Mulji started the Satya Prakash in Gujarati in 1852 to advocate widow remarriage.

Statement 2 is correct: Gopal Hari Deshmukh was better known as 'Lokahitwadi' (1823-1882). His main contribution was in broadening the scope of the movement. In the Prabhakar, a Marathi Weekly, he wrote his hundred letters, the famous 'shatbpatren', between 1848 and 1850. This constituted the magnum opus of the early intellectual endeavours in Maharashtra. These letters taken together are all encompassing in dimension; there is hardly any aspect of the society which is left untouched.

Statement 3 is correct: Vishnu Shastri Pandit founded the Widow Remarriage Association in the 1850s.
