Solution

The correct option is C Annie Besant
Home Rule Leagues were organizations established in April and September 1916 during WW I, by Bal Gangadhar Tilak and Annie Besant. The idea was propounded by Annie Besant on the lines of Irish Home Rule movement. 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.
