    C.

    Bombay

    Correct option is B


    The correct answer is (b) Lahore.
    The Indian National Congress adopted the resolution for 'Purna Swaraj' or complete independence from British rule at its historic Lahore session in 1929. This session, presided over by Jawaharlal Nehru, marked a significant shift in the Indian freedom struggle, declaring that India would strive for full independence rather than Dominion Status within the British Empire. On December 31, 1929, the Indian tricolor was hoisted along the banks of the Ravi River in Lahore, and January 26, 1930, was proclaimed as Independence Day, a date that later became the foundation for Republic Day celebrations in independent India.
