    2. B2 only
    3. C1 and 3
    4. D3 only
    Answer and explanation

    Correct answer: D

    The Ghadar Party was a revolutionary movement organized by Indian immigrants in the United States and Canada to end British rule in India.

    Rash Behari Bose, one of the most prominent leaders of the Indian National Movement, was actively associated with the Ghadar Party. He was one of the masterminds behind the Delhi conspiracy case and participated in the Ghadar movement.

    However, Barindra Kumar Ghosh and Jogesh Chandra Chatterjee were not prominently associated with the Ghadar Party. Barindra Kumar Ghosh was an Indian revolutionary and journalist, and one of the founding members of the Jugantar Bengali weekly, a revolutionary outfit in Bengal. Jogesh Chandra Chatterjee was also a prominent freedom fighter but his association with the Ghadar Party is not well documented.

    Therefore, only Rash Behari Bose was actively associated with the Ghadar Party among the options provided.
