Explanation
The correct answer is B, Jawaharlal Nehru.
The All India States Peoples Conference was established in 1927 to coordinate political activities in the Princely States. Jawaharlal Nehru was elected as its President during the Ludhiana session held in 1939. His election marked a significant shift as it signaled the formal integration of the struggle in the Princely States with the broader Indian National Movement led by the Congress. He continued to hold this position until 1946. While the other leaders mentioned were active in various movements, Nehru was the specific individual who headed the conference in 1939.
