Explanation

The correct answer is North America. The Ghadar Party was an international revolutionary movement founded by expatriate Indians to overthrow British rule in India. Its headquarters, known as the Yugantar Ashram, was established in San Francisco, California. The movement was primarily based in the United States and Canada, with its members being mostly Punjabi immigrants working as laborers or students along the Pacific Coast. Therefore, since San Francisco and Canada are located in North America, option B is the most accurate geographical description of their base during the outbreak of World War I.
