A Correct answer
Explanation

Lokmanya Tilak transformed Ganesh Chaturthi from a private household celebration into a large public event in 1893 to foster national unity and political consciousness against British colonial rule. This strategic move allowed people to gather under the guise of religious celebration, circumventing restrictions on political assemblies. Netaji Bose focused on INA, Gandhi on non-cooperation, and Gokhale on constitutional reform.
