The correct option is B

Explanation:

Statement 1,2,4 is correct:

In the late 1920s and 1930s, socialist ideology gained popularity among Indian youth. Many left-wing parties and youth organizations reflected this trend.

The Congress Socialist Party (CSP) was formed in Bombay in October 1934 under the leadership of Jayaprakash Narayan, Acharya Narendra Dev and Minoo Masani. Likewise, there were other socialist leaders outside the sphere of any party or group, including socialists such as Swami Sahajanand Saraswati, Professor N.G. Ranga, and Indual Yagnik.

Statement 3 is incorrect:

Rajendra Prasad was not a socialist and he was a Gandhian and did not believe in class conflict. Other Gandhian leaders include Sardar patel,J.B.Kripalani and others.
