The correct answer is  option 4  i.e. Subhash Chandra Bose.

The Forward Bloc was founded by Subhash Chandra Bose in 1939 after he resigned from the presidency of the Indian National Congress due to ideological differences with Mahatma Gandhi and other Congress leaders.

  • Jawaharlal Nehru: Led the Congress but was not part of the Forward Bloc.
