The false statement regarding the Indian Association is (a) It was primarily representative of landowning interests.
The Indian Association, founded in 1876 by Surendranath Banerjee and Ananda Mohan Bose, was not primarily representative of landowning interests.

It sought to address various social, political, and economic issues affecting the Indian population, particularly in Bengal.
