ANSWER – OPTION B
Explanation –
1. On 30 April 1908, two Bengali youths, Prafulla Chaki and Khudiram Bose, threw a bomb on a carriage at Muzzafarpur,
to kill the Chief Presidency Magistrate Douglas Kingsford of Calcutta
fame, but erroneously killed two women traveling in it. While Chaki
committed suicide when caught, Bose was hanged. Tilak, in his paper Kesari, defended the revolutionaries and called for immediate Swaraj or self-rule. The Government swiftly charged him with sedition.

2. He believed that there should be an armed revolt against the British
instead of Constitutional Agitations This is also a wrong statement. Bal
Gangadhar Tilak was the first intellectual leader to understand the
importance of mass support and was the first true mass leader of India.
He had realized that constitutional agitation against British was
futile. But he also realized that India was ill prepared for an armed
revolt. This was the reason that he did not jump into the revolutionary
activities like Savarkar and Chapekar brothers.
