Answer 1

The correct option is A This day was being celebrated as the Independence Day since $1930$

The Constitution of India was adopted on 26 November 1949, but it came into force on 26 January, 1950. 26 January specifically opted because it was on this date in 1929, that Jawaharlal Nehru was elected as President of the Indian National Congress during the Lahore Session and on the same day a resolution was passed demanding complete independence. The day 26 January, 1930 was declared as “Purna Swaraj Diwas” or Independence Day. Thus, in order to honor the significance of this day, the members of the Constituent Assembly decided to enforce the Constitution on January 26, 1950 marking it as Republic Day.
