(a) 1916
(b) 1918
(c) 1920
(d) 1930
Ans: (c) 1920
Explanation: The correct answer is (c) 1920.
The organizational change to turn the Congress Party into a real mass political party was made for the first time in 1920. This significant development in the structure and functioning of the Indian National Congress took place during the Nagpur session held in December 1920.
During this session, the Congress adopted the Non-Cooperation Movement proposed by Mahatma Gandhi. As part of this movement, efforts were made to expand the Congress Party’s membership and reach, particularly by involving the masses in the struggle for independence.
The resolution passed at the Nagpur session emphasized the importance of mass participation, active involvement of common people, and the use of non-violent means to challenge British rule. This marked a shift from the earlier approach of the Congress, which was more focused on elite leadership and limited participation.
Therefore, option (c) 1920 is the correct answer.
