Accepted Answer

B. To demonstrate the right to public space and challenge the physical manifestation of caste discrimination. — Ayyankali's 'villuvandi' protest was a direct action aimed at asserting the fundamental right of depressed classes to use public roads, which were symbols of upper-caste dominance.
