- ADr. B. R. Ambedkar
- BPandit Jawaharlal NehruCorrect
- CDr. Rajendra Prasad
- DSardar Vallabhbhai Patel
Explanation
The correct answer is B. Although Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel presided over the Karachi Session of the Indian National Congress in 1931, the Resolution on Fundamental Rights and the National Economic Programme was drafted by Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru. This session was significant because it was the first time the Congress spelled out what Swaraj would mean for the common masses, including civil liberties and economic rights. While M.N. Roy provided some input for the draft, the primary authorship is attributed to Nehru.
