Verified Answer
A. Lahore session/लाहौर अधिवेशन
B. Karachi session/करांची अधिवेशन
C. Calcutta session/कलकत्ता अधिवेशन
D. Madras session/मद्रास अधिवेशन
Explanation:
The song 'Jana Gana Mana', which later became the national anthem of India, was first publicly sung on December 27, 1911, during the Calcutta Session of the Indian National Congress. It was composed by Rabindranath Tagore. Options A, B, and D (Lahore, Karachi, and Madras sessions) are incorrect for the first rendition of 'Jana Gana Mana'. The Lahore Session of 1929 is famous for the 'Purna Swaraj' resolution, and the Karachi Session of 1931 adopted resolutions on fundamental rights and economic policy.
