(C) Ezhaba Movement — this matches (I) caste based movement. Narayana Guru led the people of the Ezhava community of Kerala, a caste group, to change their social practices.
(D) Bolshevik Revolution — this matches (II) class based movement. It deposed the Tsar to create a communist state in Russia. Like the working class and socialist movements of its time, it was organised along class lines.
