Solution

The correct option is A Home Rule League
Home Rule League was formed by Indian militant nationalist Bal Gangadhar Tilak and British social reformer and Indian independence leader Annie Besant. It lasted for two years from 1916 to 1918. Tilak’s group, founded at Poona concentrated its efforts mostly in western India, and that of Besant, set up at Madras had more of an all-India scope. It was Indian response to the WWI in a less charged way than the Ghadr movement led by Indian nationals living abroad.
