Q. Which Congress leader visited Bihar in 1918 in order to strengthen the activities of Home Rule League?

Correct Answer: d) M.A. Ansari

Explanation:
– The Home Rule League (1916) led by Annie Besant and B.G. Tilak had branches across India. In Bihar, initial league work needed consolidation after 1917.
– In 1918, Dr. M.A. Ansari, a prominent Congress and Home Rule League leader, toured Bihar specifically to strengthen and reorganize the League’s activities and branches.
– Gandhi had visited Bihar earlier (1917) for the Champaran Satyagraha, which was not a Home Rule League campaign.
– While Annie Besant and B.G. Tilak founded and led the Home Rule movement, the specific 1918 strengthening visit to Bihar is associated with Dr. M.A. Ansari.
