  2. BLala HardayalCorrect
  3. CBal Gangadhar Tilak
  4. DV. D. Savarkar

Explanation

The correct answer is B because Lala Hardayal was one of the primary founding members and the intellectual leader of the Ghadar Party. Established in 1913 in San Francisco, the party aimed to liberate India from British rule through an armed revolution. While other leaders like Sohan Singh Bhakna served as the president, Lala Hardayal played a crucial role in mobilizing the Indian diaspora in North America and editing the party journal titled Ghadar. Bhagat Singh was associated with the HSRA, while Tilak and Savarkar were involved in different phases and methods of the nationalist movement.
