C 2 and 3 only
D 1, 2 and 3

Correct answer: (d) 1, 2 and 3

Explanation

  1. A

    1 only

    (a) 1 only. Pair 1 is correct — Gandhi founded the All India Anti-Untouchability League (later Harijan Sevak Sangh) after the 1932 Poona Pact — but pairs 2 and 3 are also correct, so 1 only is not the key.

  2. B

    1 and 2 only

    (b) 1 and 2 only. Pair 2 is correct: All India Kisan Sabha (1936) had Swami Sahajanand Saraswati as its first president. Pair 3 is also correct, so stopping at 1 and 2 is not the key.

  3. C

    2 and 3 only

    (c) 2 and 3 only. Pair 3 is correct: E. V. Ramaswami Naicker (Periyar) led the Self-Respect Movement in Tamil country. Pair 1 is also correct, so dropping it is not the key.

  4. D

    1, 2 and 3

    (d) 1, 2 and 3. All three leader–organisation pairs match: Gandhi with the Anti-Untouchability League, Sahajanand with AIKS, Periyar with Self-Respect. That full match is the official key.

Summary. Official key is (d) 1, 2 and 3. After the Poona Pact Gandhi organised anti-untouchability work through the All India Anti-Untouchability League / Harijan Sevak Sangh. The All India Kisan Sabha at Lucknow in 1936 took Swami Sahajanand Saraswati as president. The Self-Respect Movement is Periyar’s. Honour the stored letter (d).
