Q1Who brought about a compromise between the Muslim League and the Congress in 1916?

A Annie Besant

B Surendranath Banerjee

C Bal Gangadhar Tilak

D Gopal Krishna Gokhale

Explanation

The 1916 compromise refers to the Lucknow Pact between the Congress and the Muslim League. Bal Gangadhar Tilak played a decisive role in bringing the Congress back into an assertive nationalist phase and in making cooperation with the League possible. Annie Besant supported Home Rule politics, but the key usually credits Tilak for this compromise. Surendranath Banerjee belonged to the moderate nationalist tradition and was not the central broker here. Gopal Krishna Gokhale died in 1915, so he could not have arranged a pact in 1916.
