Bombay
B
Lahore
C
Lucknow
D
Tripuri
Correct Answer: Option B
Explanation
1. The question asks at which Congress Session the Working Committee was authorized to launch a programme of Civil Disobedience.
2. The Lahore Session of the Congress in December 1929, presided over by Jawaharlal Nehru, passed the Purna Swaraj (Complete Independence) resolution.
3. This session also authorized the Congress Working Committee (CWC) to launch a programme of Civil Disobedience, including non-payment of taxes, whenever they deemed fit. This paved the way for the Salt Satyagraha launched by Gandhi in 1930.
4. Therefore, the Lahore Session is the correct answer.
