Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is option 1 i.e. Maharashtra.
In 1916, Tilak, along with Annie Besant, launched the Home Rule Movement to demand self-governance for India within the British Empire. Tilak’s influence was strongest in Maharashtra, where he mobilized people through newspapers, speeches, and local committees. The movement also had activities in Madhya Pradesh and other nearby regions, focusing on political education, civic participation, and national awakening. Other parts of India had separate regional movements or were influenced later, but Tilak’s primary base was Maharashtra.
