- BBoth the statements are individually true but Statement II is not the correct explanation of Statement I.
- CStatement I is true but Statement II is false.
- DStatement I is false but Statement II is true.
Explanation
The Oudh Kisan Sabha, founded in 1920 by Baba Ramchandra with Nehru's support, succeeded in bringing many local kisan sabhas under its organisation — so statement I (‘failed to bring any under its wing’) is false. It did ask kisans to refuse to till bedakhli (ejected tenants') land and not to offer hari and begar (forced labour) — so statement II is true. Hence I is false and II is true.
