Explanation
The correct answer is B because Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru was the primary author who drafted the Resolution on Fundamental Rights and the National Economic Programme. Although the session was presided over by Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel, Nehru took the lead in framing these resolutions to outline the vision of social and economic justice for independent India. M.N. Roy is also known to have assisted Nehru in the drafting process. This session was significant as it was the first time the Congress defined what Swaraj would mean for the masses.
