To avoid friction, Tilak's League was to work in Maharashtra (excluding Bombay city), Karnataka, Central Provinces and Berar and Besant's League was given charge of the rest of India Select the answer using the code given below :

The Home Rule Movement was launched in 1916 by Bal Gangadhar Tilak and Annie Besant to demand self-government for India. Tilak established his Indian Home Rule League in April 1916 during the Bombay Provincial Conference held at Belgaum [1]. Annie Besant subsequently announced the formation of her All-India Home Rule League in September 1916 at Madras [2]. To ensure efficient coordination and avoid friction between their respective followers, the two leaders demarcated their territorial jurisdictions. Tilak's League operated in Maharashtra (excluding Bombay city), Karnataka, the Central Provinces, and Berar [1]. Besant's League was responsible for the rest of India, including Bombay city. Both leagues cooperated closely, supplementing each other's efforts to promote the message of Swarajya through public meetings and vernacular education [1]. Thus, all three statements regarding the formation and territorial division are historically accurate.
