B- Mahatma Gandhi
C- Dr Rajendra Prasad
D- Khan Abdul Gaffar Khan

Answer 1

Hint:
The Indian National Congress (INC) party was established in 1885.
It developed to become one of India's most significant and influential political parties before independence.
In 1885, the very first Indian National Congress session was held.

Complete answer:
In 1929, the 1929 Lahore Session of Congress was convened. This session was very critical because the influential Indian National Congress party introduced the Poorna Swaraj resolution or absolute independence in this Lahore session. On the bank of the Ravi River, the Indian tricolour flag was hoisted by Pandit Jawahar Lal Nehru. This was the day the nationalists first unfurled the tricolour for the first time. The Congress convention started in Lahore and Pandit Nehru was the convention's president. In this session, he mentioned that there is only one goal ahead of us which is complete freedom." At its Lahore session, the Indian National Congress passed the historic 'Purna Swaraj' (total independence) resolution on 19 December 1929. On 26 January 1930, a day which the Congress Party urged Indians to celebrate as 'Independence Day a public declaration was made. Therefore, Congress agreed to observe 26 January 1930 as the full independence or Day of Purna Swaraj. This day was celebrated with excitement and passion throughout the country as the day of independence.

It was at the 1929 Lahore session when Congress Party President Nehru declared January 26, 1930, as the date when India would get full freedom or "Purna Swaraj" It was agreed that January 26 would be celebrated as Independence Day but sadly, on August 15, 1947, we got our real freedom.

Therefore, the correct answer is A

Note:
The declaration was passed owing to the failure of talks on the issue of dominion status for India between representatives of the independence struggle and the British.
Swaraj Party was founded by Chittranjan Das.
We got actual freedom on 15 August 1947.
