Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

The 1929 Lahore Session of the Indian National Congress was significant because it marked the formal declaration of
Purna Swaraj (complete independence) as the goal of the Indian freedom struggle. Under the leadership of Jawaharlal Nehru, the Congress passed the historic resolution demanding complete independence from British rule. This was a turning point in the Indian independence movement as it set the stage for more radical approaches, including the Civil Disobedience Movement.
