Solution

The correct option is B 1920
The Indian businessmen wanted to make sure that their demands were heard. So, in order to secure their business interests, they organised themselves into two major bodies. The Indian Industrial and Commercial Congress in 1920, and the Federation of the Indian Chamber of Commerce and Industries, or the FICCI, in 1927. These bodies were led by prominent industrialists like Purshottamdas Thakurdas and G. D. Birla. They strongly opposed the colonial control over the Indian economy.
