D Correct answer
Explanation

Dadabhai Naoroji was among the earliest leaders to formally demand Swaraj (self-rule) for India. As early as 1906, he articulated the demand for self-governance and founded the Swaraj Party. While Tilak later popularized the slogan 'Swaraj is my birthright' and Gandhi made it a mass movement, Naoroji's early economic critique (Drain Theory) and formal proposals laid the foundation.
