The year 1916 is important in Indian history for : 1. Lucknow Session of the Congress 2. Congress - League Pact 3. Formation of Home Rule League Select the correct answer using the code given below :

The year 1916 was a landmark in Indian history due to several converging political developments. First, the Lucknow Session of the Congress was held, which is famous for the reunion of the Moderates and Extremists [5]. Second, this session witnessed the signing of the Lucknow Pact (Congress-League Pact), where the Indian National Congress and the All-India Muslim League agreed on common political demands, including representation for religious minorities [5]. Third, 1916 marked the formation of the Home Rule Leagues. Bal Gangadhar Tilak launched his league in April 1916, followed by Annie Besant's All India Home Rule League in September 1916 [6]. These movements shifted the national struggle toward a demand for self-government within the British Empire [6]. Consequently, all three events listed are historically significant occurrences of 1916.
