(a) Mumbai
(b) Lahore
(c) Lucknow
(d) Tripuri
Ans: (b) Lahore
Explanation: The correct option is (b) Lahore.
At the Lahore Session of the Indian National Congress held in December 1929, the Working Committee was authorized to launch a programme of Civil Disobedience. The Lahore Session of the Congress is historically significant as it marked the adoption of the historic resolution declaring complete independence or “Purna Swaraj” as the goal of the Indian National Congress.
During the Lahore Session, the Congress Working Committee was empowered to plan and execute a program of Civil Disobedience, which included various forms of nonviolent resistance and noncooperation with the British colonial government. The aim was to intensify the struggle for India’s independence and challenge British authority through peaceful but disruptive means.
So, option (b) is the correct answer.
