Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is option 3 i.e. Prafulla Chaki.

In 1908, Khudiram Bose, along with Prafulla Chaki, was involved in an attempt to assassinate British judge Kingsford, who was known for his harsh sentences against nationalists. Believing Kingsford was traveling in a particular carriage, they threw a bomb at it in Muzaffarpur. Unfortunately, the carriage was not carrying Kingsford but instead two British women, Mrs. Kennedy and her daughter, who were killed in the attack. Following the incident, Prafulla Chaki took his own life to avoid capture, while Khudiram was arrested, tried, and eventually hanged at the age of 18, becoming one of India’s youngest revolutionary martyrs.
