Answer 1

The correct option is B The British dragged India to the war without consulting its people or Congress ministers.

During World War II, the British wanted to involve India to fight for their colonial masters, that too without any consultation with the Indians or the Congress ministers. Disappointed by this move, the Congress ministers resigned in 1939.
