Option 1: Mahatma Gandhi is not the correct answer. There is no evidence to suggest that Mahatma Gandhi persuaded the ratings of the RIN to surrender on the 23rd February 1946.

Option 2: Jawaharlal Nehru and Maulana Abul Kalam Azad is not the correct answer. While these leaders played significant roles in India`s struggle for independence, there is no evidence to suggest that they persuaded the ratings of the RIN to surrender.

Option 3: Vallabh Bhai Patel and M.A. Jinnah is the correct answer. Both Patel and Jinnah were important political figures during the time. Vallabh Bhai Patel, who later became India`s first Deputy Prime Minister, played a key role in the integration of princely states into India. M.A. Jinnah, on the other hand, was the leader of the Muslim League and was a key figure in the demand for a separate Muslim state, which eventually became Pakistan.

Option 4: Morarji Desai and J.B. Kripalani is not the correct answer. There is no evidence to suggest that these leaders persuaded the ratings of the RIN to surrender on the 23rd February 1946.
