Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is option 3 i.e. Writers’ Building.
On December 8, 1930, the revolutionary trio—Binoy Basu, Badal Gupta, and Dinesh Gupta—launched a daring attack on the Writers’ Building, the seat of the British government in Calcutta. Dressed in European attire, they targeted the notorious Inspector General of Prisons, N.S. Simpson, known for his brutal treatment of political prisoners. Their act of supreme sacrifice and bravery shook the foundations of British administration, and today, the area is famously known as B.B.D. Bagh in their honor.
