Q. Bhagat Singh, Chandra Shekhar Azad and Rajguru shot a British police officer lead who they thought was responsible

(a) for ordering Jallianwala massacre

(b) for the introduction of Public Safety Bill

(c) for the murder of Lala Lajpat Rai

(d) for ordering the hanging of Ram Prasad Bismil

Ans: (c) for the murder of Lala Lajpat Rai

Explanation: The correct answer is (c) for the murder of Lala Lajpat Rai.

Bhagat Singh, Chandra Shekhar Azad, and Rajguru were revolutionary freedom fighters who played a significant role in the Indian independence movement. They believed in armed resistance against British colonial rule.

On December 17, 1928, Lala Lajpat Rai, a prominent Indian nationalist leader, participated in a protest against the Simon Commission, a British government-appointed committee to discuss constitutional reforms for India. During the protest, Lala Lajpat Rai was severely injured when the police lathi-charged (beat with batons) the protesters.

In retaliation for the attack on Lala Lajpat Rai, Bhagat Singh, Chandra Shekhar Azad, and Rajguru planned and executed the assassination of a British police officer, James A. Scott, whom they mistakenly believed was responsible for Lala Lajpat Rai’s death. They shot James A. Scott on December 17, 1928, in Lahore, Pakistan.

It is important to note that the incident involving the Jallianwala Bagh massacre (option a) and the introduction of the Public Safety Bill (option b) were separate events, and Bhagat Singh, Chandra Shekhar Azad, and Rajguru were not directly involved in those incidents.

Therefore, option (c) for the murder of Lala Lajpat Rai is the correct answer.
