• A. Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh
• B. Vishwa Hindu Parishad
• C. Indian National Congress
• D. Muslim League

Answer 1

The correct option is C Indian National Congress

• The Indian National Congress was established in the year 1885.
• The Congress won in most of the provinces in the provincial election of 1937. The Muslim League secured only 102 out of the possible 485 'Muslim seats'.
• Prior to 1938, the members of the Congress could be the members of Hindu Mahasabha. This was banned in 1938, after the objections from Maulana Azad and others.
• Lal Bahadur Shastri was a member of the INC and was the second Prime Minister of India after Jawaharlal Nehru's reign.
