The correct answer is (b) Madras.

· The league aimed at achieving self-governance for India within the British Empire, similar to the dominions of Canada and Australia.
· The movement worked through public meetings, speeches, and literature to educate and mobilize the Indian populace for the cause of home rule.

Banaras:
· Banaras (now Varanasi) was a significant cultural and educational center, but it was not the central hub for Annie Besant's Home Rule League.
Calcutta:
· Calcutta (now Kolkata) was the capital of British India until 1911 and an important political center. However, it was not the base for Annie Besant's Home Rule League.
