Who among the following belonged to Serampore Mission ? 1. William Carey 2. Joshua Marshman 3. William Ward 4. David Hare Select the correct answer using the code given below :

The Serampore Mission was established in 1799 by a group of pioneering English Baptist missionaries known as the 'Serampore Trio' [1]. This trio consisted of William Carey, Joshua Marshman, and William Ward [2]. William Carey, often called the 'Father of Modern Missions', arrived in Bengal in 1793, while Marshman and Ward joined him in 1799 [1]. Together, they founded Serampore College in 1818 and were instrumental in translating the Bible into various Indian languages and promoting education [1]. David Hare, while a contemporary philanthropist and educator in Calcutta who collaborated with figures like Raja Rammohan Roy to establish the Hindu College, was not a member of the Serampore Mission [3]. Therefore, only Carey, Marshman, and Ward (1, 2, and 3) belonged to the Serampore Mission.
