The correct option is D because M. N. Roy, along with Abani Mukherji and others, founded the Communist Party of India in Tashkent, Soviet Union, in October 1920. Following the second congress of the Communist International, Roy took the initiative to organize Indian revolutionaries abroad to form a formal communist body. M. N. Roy was a prominent revolutionary and a theorist who played a key role in the international communist movement and served as a member of the Comintern executive committee. While P. C. Joshi was a major leader later on, and others were involved in the national movement, it was M. N. Roy who specifically headed the group in Tashkent during this historic event.
