Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: D
Explanation

The statements provided contain several historical inaccuracies regarding the organizations of the depressed classes. Statement 1 is incorrect because the first All India Depressed Classes Conference was held in Nagpur in 1920, presided over by Shahu Maharaj, not in Poona in 1926 under M. C. Rajah. Statement 2 is incorrect as Dr. B.R. Ambedkar organized the Depressed Classes Association in 1930 [2], whereas the All India Depressed Classes Association (formed earlier in the 1920s) was often associated with M.C. Rajah, who later clashed with Ambedkar over the Poona Pact [1]. Statement 3 is incorrect because the All India Depressed Classes Congress was established by Ambedkar in 1930 at Nagpur, not by B.S. Munje in 1936. B.S. Munje was a leader of the Hindu Mahasabha and was involved in the negotiations leading to the Poona Pact but did not found this specific Congress. Therefore, none of the statements are correct.
