How is Haji Shariatullah's contribution seen in the Faraizi Movement?

Correct answer: He laid the foundation of religious reform and social awakening

The direct answer is D: he laid the foundation of religious reform and social awakening. Haji Shariatullah founded the Faraizi Movement in eastern Bengal in the nineteenth century. The word Faraizi refers to observance of religious duties, and the movement encouraged Muslims to follow obligatory practices while also responding to social and economic problems under colonial and landlord power. Step by step: Shariatullah preached religious reform; he gathered followers; the movement created awareness and organisation among rural people; later leaders continued its social and agrarian significance. Option D is correct because it describes his foundational role. Option A is wrong because the Chittagong Armoury Raid was a twentieth-century revolutionary action, not his work. Option B is wrong because Narmada Bachao Andolan was a modern movement about dams and displacement. Option C is wrong because the Royal Indian Navy revolt occurred in 1946, long after his period.
