(c) W. C. Bannerjee
(d) None of these
Ans: (a) Bipin Chandra Pal
Explanation: Among the given options, Bipin Chandra Pal was not a moderate among the freedom fighters. Bipin Chandra Pal was one of the prominent leaders of the Indian nationalist movement, but he belonged to the extremist or radical faction rather than the moderate faction. Along with Bal Gangadhar Tilak and Lala Lajpat Rai, Pal was part of the Lal-Bal-Pal triumvirate, advocating for more assertive methods in the struggle for independence. They emphasized the use of mass mobilization, self-reliance, and direct action to challenge British rule. Gopal Krishna Gokhale and W. C. Bannerjee, on the other hand, were leaders associated with the moderate faction of the Indian National Congress.
