Explanation:
There were two home rule leagues launched. Tilak launched the Indian Home Rule League in April 1916 at Belgaum. Annie Besant launched the Home Rule League in September 1916 at Madras.
Statement 2 is incorrect: Many members of the Congress and the Muslim League joined the league. Many prominent leaders like Muhammad Ali Jinnah, Joseph Baptista, G S Kharpade and Sir S Subramanya Iyer were among its members. The moderates, extremists and the Muslim League were briefly united through this movement.
Statement 1 is correct: The key objective of the league movement was to achieve self-government in India. It also aimed to promote political education and discussion to set up agitation for self-government.
Statement 3 is correct: The movement led to the Montagu Declaration of 1917 in which it was declared that there would be more Indians in the government leading to the development of self-governing institutions ultimately realising responsible governments in India. This Declaration (also known as the August Declaration) implied that the demand for home rule would no longer be considered seditious. This was the biggest significance of the movement.
