Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: A
Explanation

The Lahore Session of 1929, presided over by Jawaharlal Nehru, is historic primarily because the Indian National Congress formalised the demand for 'Purna Swaraj' or complete independence [3]. This resolution marked a shift from seeking dominion status to total sovereignty, leading to the first celebration of Independence Day on January 26, 1930 [2]. Statement 2 is incorrect because the rift between extremists and moderates was resolved much earlier at the Lucknow Session in 1916, not in 1929 [1]. Statement 3 is also incorrect as the 'Two-Nation Theory' became a prominent political issue in the late 1930s and 1940s (notably with the Muslim League's 1940 Lahore Resolution); the 1929 session focused on the Purna Swaraj declaration and the authorization of the Civil Disobedience Movement [2]. Therefore, only statement 1 is correct.
