D. None of the above

Answer 1

Hint: Quit India movement was launched by Mahatma Gandhi with the famous slogan “Do or die”. Quit India movement was followed by large scale violence happened at railway stations, post offices, buildings, and other emblems and institutions of British Colonial Rule.

Complete answer:
Gandhi launched a mass civil disobedience movement. He called the British force to leave India. The mass destruction happened in the country and the British government blamed Gandhi for the destruction. They called the ‘Quit India Movement' a deliberate policy of Congress. The British in reply arrested prominent leaders of Congress and banned Congress. Police and army were used by the government to suppress the Quit India Movement.
Whether Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose secretly ran away from the British detention in Calcutta and reached foreign land. He made an organization named the Indian National Army (INA) to overthrow the British rule from India.
In 1942, British rule was facing pressure all over the world to solve the issue of India’s future before the end of World War II. In this regard, the British dispatched a committee that granted India as a dominion of the British. But INC unaccepted this and called for the Quit India Movement immediately. By the end of World War II, Britain’s position in the world diminished and they were no longer in the condition to rule over India. As a series of events set by the Quit India Movement, the British left India in 1947.
Hence, the Quit India movement was declared by the Indian National Congress in Bombay Session of AICC on 8 Aug 1942.

Thus, option (A) is correct.

Note: Lord Mountbatten was the governor-general of India during India's freedom. Winston Churchill was Britain’s PM during the ’Quit India Movement’.
