Correct Answer:

Angami Zaphu Phizo

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option 2 - Angami Zaphu Phizo

Angami Zaphu Phizo was the leader of the Naga National Council which launched an armed struggle for sovereignty of Nagas.

The story of Nagaland is similar to Mizoram, except that it started much earlier and has not yet had such a happy ending. Led by Angami Zaphu Phizo, a section of the Nagas declared independence from India way back in 1951. Phizo turned down many offers of negotiated settlement. The Naga National Council launched an armed struggle for sovereignty of Nagas.
