Answer: Option A

Solution(By Examveda Team)

Jyotirao's family belonged to 'mali' caste and their original title was 'Gorhay'. Mali's were considered as an inferior caste by the Brahmins and were shunned socially. Jyotirao's father and uncles served as florists, so the family came to be known as 'Phule'.
