Answer 1

Hint:He is known as 'the Bard of Bengal'. He is the only person who has written the national anthems of two countries. In India, the national anthem was originally composed as Bharoto Bhagyo Bidhata in Bengali and it was adopted by the Constituent Assembly of India as the national anthem on January 24,1950.

Complete answer:
The patriotic song ‘Amar Sonar Bangla’ was composed by Rabindranath Tagor. This patriotic song “Amar Sonar Bangla '' is the national anthem of Bangladesh and was written by "Rabindranath Tagore" in the year 1905. Rabindranath Tagore was born in Calcutta on 7 th may 1861 in, British India. He is also known as Poet of Bengal. This was one of the famous and at the same time popular Patriotic songs. This Patriotic song was also adopted as the National Anthem of Bangladesh on 3rd March 1971.

The National Anthem is the official song of the People's Republic of Bangladesh so the song is treated as the national anthem of Bangladesh. In the two decades of the twentieth century, we can see the influence of the song 'Amar Sonar Bangla'. It is mainly due to the SWADESHI MOVEMENT. It has a great role in the swadeshi movement. The anti-partitionists (those who opposed the PARTITION OF BENGAL), Swadeshi activists, and the revolutionaries used this song as a medium to activate the spirit of patriotism among the Bangali masses. But with the decline of regional nationalism from the 1920 s, this song went out of currency and it became on the eve of Bangladesh's WAR OF LIBERATION. The song was played at two meetings such as a meeting organized at PaltanMaidan by the Students League and the Sramik League on 3 March 1971.

On the occasion of Seventh March address Bangabandhu SHEIKH MUJIBUR RAHMAN at the Racecourse Maidan (now Suhra wardy Udyan) in Dhaka was preceded by this song. 23 March it was played by Swadhin Bangla Kendriya Chhatra Sangram Parishad. Mainly for the parade marking independence. The Bangladesh Government adopted this song as the national anthem of Bangladesh, and it was used by SWADHIN BANGLA BETAR KENDRA throughout the War period of Liberation. The first part of the song that includes ten lines has been specified to make the anthem for vocal music and the first four lines of the song for instrumental music.

Hence, the correct answer is option (C).
