Solution

The correct option is C Self-government for India within the British Common wealth
Home Rule Leagues were organizations established in April and September 1916 during WW I, by Bal Gangadhar Tilak and Annie Besant. Many Indian revolutionaries suported the Britishers but Tilak and Besant considered this an opportunity to achieve independence from the British. Thus, they decided to organise a national alliance of leagues across India, specifically to demand Home Rule, or self-government within the British commonwealth.
