Explanation

The correct answer is D because M.C. Setalvad, B.N. Rao, and Alladi Krishnaswamy Iyer were prominent lawyers and jurists who were closely associated with the Servants of India Society. The Servants of India Society was founded by Gopal Krishna Gokhale in 1905 with the aim of training Indians to devote their lives to the cause of the country in a selfless manner. These three individuals were distinguished legal minds who played significant roles in Indias constitutional development and were aligned with the moderate and reformist principles of the Society. While they are often remembered for their contributions to the Drafting Committee of the Constitution or as high-ranking legal officials in independent India, their early political and social involvement was rooted in the intellectual and service-oriented framework of the Servants of India Society.
