The statements (A) and (C) are incorrect.

Communist Party (Marxist-Leninist) did not break off from the Socialist Party.

In 1974 the students in Gujarat started an agitation against rising prices of food grains, cooking oil, and other essential commodities, and against corruption in high places.

Charu Mazumdar (1918-1972) was a prominent communist revolutionary known for his leadership in the Naxalbari uprising. He later disassociated from the Communist Party of India (CPI) and went on to establish the Communist Party of India (Marxist-Leninist). Charu Mazumdar advocated for the Maoist approach, emphasizing peasant rebellion, and staunchly supported revolutionary violence. Tragically, he met his demise while in police custody.

Loknayak Jayaprakash Narayan (JP), born in 1902 and passing away in 1979, had a multifaceted journey in Indian politics and social activism. His heroism was notable during the Quit India movement of 1942, where he emerged as a key figure. Interestingly, JP declined the opportunity to join Jawaharlal Nehru's cabinet, signaling a shift in his political trajectory. After 1955, he chose to disengage from active politics, transitioning into a Gandhian leader.
