Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation
Subhas Chandra Bose had escaped from India in 1941 and gone to Germany to work for India’s Independence.

Among the rest of the options, Shah Nawaz Khan was an Indian politician who served as an officer in the Indian National Army during World War II, Khan Abdul Gaffar Khan led his non-violent Khudai Khidmatgar movement against the British Raj in the 1930s and 1940s, and Bhagat Singh was an Indian socialist revolutionary whose two acts of dramatic violence against the British in India and execution at age 23 made him a folk hero of the Indian independence movement. Hence, these options are incorrect.
