Solution

The correct option is B

Dadabhai Naoroji at the Calcutta session of the Congress


In 1906, Dadabhai Naoroji (who was the President of the INC session at Calcutta), and in his Presidential address, used the word Swaraj. Thus, the word, ‘Swaraj’ wasn’t untouchable to them, but they were reluctant to pass the resolution over ‘Swaraj’. Therefore, Dadabhai Naoroji was the first Indian to use the word Swarajya in 1906. So, the correct answer is option (b)
