A.Rabindranath Tagore
B.Dr Babasaheb Patel
C.Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel
D.Dadabhai Naoroji

Answer 1

Hint: On 13 April 1919 which was presumed to be a festive Baisakhi day, pilgrims along with gentle protestors had assembled in the Jallianwala Bagh in Amritsar to observe the Sikh festival. Little did they realize that their festivities were soon going to detract from one of the destructive moments in India's past.
The troops encircled the whole garden and enclosed all the passages and limited narrow exit points before unlocking fire at the dense mob for around 10 minutes. The crowd consisted of thousands of Sikhs, Hindus, and Muslims as well.

Complete answer:
Thousands of folk men were fired upon by the British Indian Army soldiers at the rulings of Brigadier-General Reginald Dyer at the vulnerable public of men, women, and children.
The total number of victims that appeared is debated as the British Raj officials assessed that 379 people were assassinated and 1100, harshly wounded in the assault. However, according to the Indian National Congress, the death number is more than 1500 with 1000 executed. It was not only the shooting that massacred the people. Many were killed in stampedes while escaping the spot. Around 120 bodies were fished out from the well. Many bruised; who could not move succumbed during the darkness.
Rabindranath Tagore received the information of the slaughter by 22 May 1919. He strived to organize a protest gathering in Calcutta and finally determined to renounce his British knighthood.

Hence, the correct answer is option (A).

Note:In the contradiction message by Tagore, communicated to the Viceroy of India, Lord Chelmsford, he penned that he wished and wanted to stand by the side of his Indian countrymen who, for their so-called unimportance, are responsible to undergo degradation not desirable for human beings. Gupta interprets the letter penned by Tagore as "historic". He realized that Tagore denied his knighthood. This was done in objection against the inhuman brutality of the British Army to the community of Punjab.
