The correct option is A The East India Association
The “Grand Old Man of India” Dadabhai Naoroji initiated the establishment of the East India Association, at London. It was one of the predecessor organizations of the Indian National Congress in 1866. The idea was to present the correct information about India to the British Public and voice Indian Grievances. In 1869, this organization opened branches in Bombay, Madras and Kolkata. It became inoperative in the 1880s.
