4. D. I-d, II-c, III-b, IV-a

Correct Answer

Option B — I-b, II-c, III-d, IV-a

Detailed Solution & Explanation

The correct answer is I-b, II-c, III-d, IV-a.

Key Points

• Matching the political organisations with their founders: Khaksars (I) → Inayatullah Khan Mashriqui (b); Socialist Party (II) → Jayaprakash Narayan (c); Independent Labour Party (III) → B. R. Ambedkar (d); and Forward Bloc (IV) → Subhash Chandra Bose (a).
• The Independent Labour Party was founded by Ambedkar (1936) to fight for the rights of workers and the depressed classes; the All India Forward Bloc was formed by Subhas Chandra Bose (1939) after he left the Congress; and Jayaprakash Narayan was a founder of the Congress Socialist Party.
• This gives the combination I-b, II-c, III-d, IV-a, making option (B) correct.

Additional Information

• Organisation-founder pairs worth memorising: Khaksars (Allama Mashriqi, 1931), Forward Bloc (Subhas Chandra Bose, 1939), Swaraj Party (C.R. Das and Motilal Nehru, 1923), Congress Socialist Party (Jayaprakash Narayan and Acharya Narendra Dev, 1934), Independent Labour Party (B.R. Ambedkar, 1936).
• The Khaksar Tehreek was a paramilitary social-reform movement based in Lahore, known for its uniformed volunteers carrying spades.
• Cluster founders by decade — the 1920s and 1930s produced most of these — to make recall easier.
