    ​​

    Correct Answer: (B) 1908
    Explanation

    → The Muzaffarpur Bomb Case took place on April 30, 1908, involving young revolutionaries Khudiram Bose and Prafulla Chaki.
    → Their target was the unpopular British District Magistrate, Douglas Kingsford, known for passing harsh sentences on Indian nationalists.
    → The outcome was tragic as the bomb mistakenly hit a carriage carrying two British women (the Kennedys), leading to their deaths.
    → This event is a milestone in the Revolutionary Terrorism phase of the Indian independence movement, highlighting the youth's militant shift.
    Information Booster
    → Khudiram Bose
    was only 18 years old when he was hanged on August 11, 1908.

    Prafulla Chaki committed suicide to avoid being captured by the police.
    → The case led the British to the Manicktala Garden and the subsequent Alipore Conspiracy Case.
    → This was one of the first major bomb attacks by Indian revolutionaries against British officials.
    → The incident made Khudiram Bose a folk hero and a symbol of sacrifice in Bengal and across India.
    Additional Information
    Option (A) 1907: While revolutionary activities were brewing, 1907 is better known for the Surat Split and the deportation of Lala Lajpat Rai, not the Muzaffarpur incident.
    Option (C) 1909: This year saw the assassination of Curzon Wyllie in London by Madan Lal Dhingra, but the Muzaffarpur case had occurred the previous year.
