C 3 only
D 1, 2 and 3

Correct answer: (d) 1, 2 and 3

Explanation

  1. A

    1 only

    (a) 1 only. Tej Bahadur Sapru did lead the Liberal Federation as a prominent Liberal, but pairs 2 and 3 also match, so 1 only is not the key.

  2. B

    1 and 2 only

    (b) 1 and 2 only. K. C. Neogy (Kshitish Chandra Neogy) was a member of the Constituent Assembly (and later a Union minister). Pair 3 is also right, so stopping at 1 and 2 is not the key.

  3. C

    3 only

    (c) 3 only. P. C. Joshi was General Secretary of the Communist Party of India, but pairs 1 and 2 are also correct, so 3 only is not the key.

  4. D

    1, 2 and 3

    (d) 1, 2 and 3. All three person–position pairs are correctly matched, so this is the official key.

Summary. Official key is (d) 1, 2 and 3. Sapru was the Liberal constitutionalist associated with the All India Liberal Federation. K. C. Neogy sat in the Constituent Assembly. P. C. Joshi was CPI General Secretary in the 1930s–40s. Honour the stored letter (d).
