Solution

The correct option is A Hold civil service examination in India.
All the important jobs which include some form of responsibility had never been given to Indians. Official positions in the navy, army, courts, and the civil services were held by the British. To remedy this, one of the demands by the Indian National Congress was to hold the civil service examinations in India so that more Indians could participate.
