Madras

Central Provinces

Bombay

Bombay

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (4) → Bombay

Kesari was published in Bombay.

During the Civil Disobedience Movement, press Kesari indulged in offensive language and in its usual attitude of blowing hot and cold wrote: “If the Government wants to test the power of Satyagraha, both its action and inaction will cause injury to it. If it arrests Gandhi it will incur the discontent of the nation; if it does not do that, the movement of civil disobedience will go on spreading. We therefore say that if the Government punishes Mr. Gandhi the nation will have won a victory, and if it lets him alone it will have won a still greater victory.”
