Option A. He was a Punjabi revolutionary (1907-1931) who was executed when he was 23 due to his extremist and socialist actions, foremost an assassination. His mentor was Sachindranath Sanyal.
Option B. He picked his cause of fighting the British during the first world war over a job with the Civil Services, for which he was qualified by virtue of being a polymath.
Option C. He is often referred to as the ‘Maker of Modern India’ by Gandhi as he was the first leader of the independence movement. His nickname was Lokmanya, indicative of his popularity with the common man. He was one part of the trio, Lal-Bal-Pal. Lal was Lala Lajpat Rai, and Pal was Bipin Chandra Pal.
Option D. Vinayak Damodar or Svatantryaveer Savarkar was a Marathi activist (1883-1966)and is best known for giving the concept of Hindutva. What is interesting to mark, however, is that he identified as an atheist.
