B Correct answer
Explanation

Raja Ram Mohan Roy's reformist legacy was continued by the Derozians - radical young Bengali intellectuals inspired by Henry Louis Vivian Derozio, a teacher at Hindu College. They promoted rationalism, challenged superstitions, and advocated social reform in the 1820s-30s. 'Mohunities' and 'Radical Humanists' are not correct historical terms for this group.
