Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is option 2 i.e. Bombay Session.
The Quit India Resolution, a landmark event in India's struggle for independence, was passed during the Bombay session of the All India Congress Committee (AICC). This historic meeting was held on August 8, 1942, at the Gowalia Tank Maidan in Bombay (now Mumbai).
The resolution, drafted by Jawaharlal Nehru and seconded by Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel, called for an immediate end to British rule in India. It was at this session that Mahatma Gandhi delivered his famous 'Do or Die' speech, urging Indians to unite and fight for their freedom. The resolution was ratified by the AICC, officially launching the Quit India Movement. The next day, the British government responded swiftly by arresting all the major leaders of the Indian National Congress, triggering a nationwide protest and marking a critical phase in the freedom struggle.
