Gopal Krishna Gokhale

The correct answer is Option 4 - Gopal Krishna Gokhale

The claim for "swarajya" or self-government within the British Empire, on the model of self-governing colonies like Australia and Canada, was put forward from the Congress platform in 1905 by Gopal Krishna Gokhale.

Gokhale was a moderate leader of the Indian National Congress. He believed that India could achieve self-government through gradual reforms and cooperation with the British government. He delivered his presidential address at the 20th session of the Indian National Congress in Banaras in 1905, in which he called for "self-government like the United Kingdom or the colonies" of Australia or Canada.

Gokhale's demand for self-government was a significant development in the Indian independence movement. It marked the first time that a major Indian political party had called for complete self-rule from the British government.

Gokhale's demand for self-government was opposed by some of the more radical leaders of the Indian National Congress, such as Bal Gangadhar Tilak and Lala Lajpat Rai. They believed that India should demand complete independence from the British government immediately.
