Complete answer: The first round table conference was held in London. Before the Conference, Mahatma Gandhi started the civil disobedience movement on behalf of the Indian national congress. Most of the congress members were in jail and congress refused to participate in it including Mahatma Gandhi. But some of the representatives from other parties and princes did participate. The outcome of the conference was minimal so the civil disobedience movement continued and british government realized that Congress needed to be a part of it for deciding the future of constitutional government.

Looking at options given:
Option A . MK Gandhi did not attend the first Round table conference as he was leading the civil disobedience movement and Congress decided not to attend it. This is the correct answer.
