Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

Apart from a few stray incidents, the armed rebellion against the British rulers was not organized before the beginning of the 20th century. The revolutionary philosophies and movement made its presence felt during the 1905 Partition of Bengal. Arguably, the initial steps to organize the revolutionaries were taken by Aurobindo Ghosh, his brother Barin Ghosh, Bhupendranath Datta, Lal Bal Pal and Subodh Chandra Mullick when they formed the Jugantar party in April 1906. Jugantar was created as an inner circle of the Anushilan Samiti, which was already present in Bengal mainly as a fitness club. After the First World War Jugantar supported Gandhi in the Non-Cooperation Movement and many of their leaders were in Congress. Still, the group continued its revolutionary activities, a notable event being the Chittagong armory raid. Hence, Option A is correct. The nineteenth century (1800-1899) did not see an organized revolution, hence, the rest of the options are incorrect.
