Solution
The correct option is A Jayaprakash Narayan
Jaayaprakash Narayan escaped from the prison and organised underground activities during the Quit India Movement. He along with Ram Manohar Lohia and Aruna Asaf Ali, took charge of the ongoing stir when all the senior leaders had been arrested. However, he also could not remain outside the jail for long time and was soon arrested under Defence of India Rules, a preventive detention law that did not require trial. He was put in Hazari Bagh Central Jail. Jayaprakash along with his accomplices started making plan to escape from the Jail. Their chance came soon on a Diwali day in November 1942 when a large number of guards were on leave because of the festival. It was a daring escape which made Jayaprakash into a folk hero. Jayaprakash actively worked underground for Indian Freedom Movement in this period. Hence, Option A is correct.
