Correct option is A

The correct answer is (a) Hindustan Socialist Republican Association

• Ram Prasad Bismil, Chandrashekhar Azad, and Bhagat Singh were prominent leaders of the Hindustan Socialist Republican Association (HSRA), a revolutionary organization aimed at securing Indian independence through armed struggle.

• The HSRA, formed in 1924, was founded by Chandrashekhar Azad, Bhagat Singh, and Bismil, among others, with the ideology of socialist nationalism.

• The group was involved in several key incidents, including the Jallianwala Bagh massacre and the bombing of the Central Legislative Assembly in 1929 to protest against British rule and to awaken the masses for a revolutionary cause.

Why other options are incorrect:

• (b) Azad Hind Fauj: This was the Indian National Army (INA), led by Subhas Chandra Bose, which fought for Indian independence during World War II. It was not directly associated with Bismil, Azad, or Bhagat Singh.

• (c) Naujawan Bharat Sabha: Although Bhagat Singh was associated with this organization, it was not the primary organization of Ram Prasad Bismil and Chandrashekhar Azad.

• (d) Hind Socialist Republican Association: This is a misnomer. The correct name of the organization is Hindustan Socialist Republican Association (HSRA), as mentioned in option (a).
