Explanation

C. Rajagopalachari (Rajaji) was often called the 'conscience keeper' of Mahatma Gandhi because he would openly disagree with Gandhi when he felt Gandhi was making a mistake, while remaining deeply loyal to Gandhian principles. He was known for his frank counsel and moral clarity. When Rajaji opposed the Quit India Movement (believing it would weaken India's bargaining position), he demonstrated this independent conscience. Others like Tagore were respected critics, but Rajaji had the closest Gandhian connection.
