The correct option is C 1, 2 and 4 only

Explanation:

The demise of the Civil Disobedience movement around 1934 resulted in serious dissension within the Congress, in the same way as it had happened after the withdrawal of the earlier Non-cooperation campaign. While Gandhi temporarily withdrew from active politics, the socialists and other leftist elements-the most important of them being Jaya Prakash Narayan, Achyut Patwardhan, Asoke Mehta, Yusuf Meherally, Narendra Dev and Minoo Masani formed in May 1934 the Congress Socialist Party (CSP).
