The Congress policy of prayer and petition ultimately came to an end under the guidance of:
- Aurobindo Ghosh
- Bal Gangadhar Tilak
- Lala Lajpat Rai
- Mahatma Gandhi
Explanation
Option (b) is correct
- The Moderates’ method of petition and prayer gave way to the Extremists’ call for mass agitation, boycott, and swadeshi. Tilak, joined by Lal–Bal–Pal and Aurobindo, led this assertive nationalism, turning Swadeshi into a wider political struggle and rejecting the Moderates’ ineffective appeals.
