Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: (a) Vinayak Damodar Savarkar
Explanation
After reaching London in 1906, Vinayak Damodar Savarkar established a branch of the Abhinav Bharat Society and, as a prototype of the Abhinav Bharat Society, formed the ‘Free India Society’ in 1906, so that youths coming to London from different parts of India could be brought together as an organized force. The youths associated with the ‘Free India Society’ were closely observed, and only thereafter were they given a place in the central group of Abhinav Bharat.
