In the Lahore Session of the Indian National Congress held in 1929, a resolution was adopted to gain complete independence from the British rule. This pivotal session was presided over by Jawaharlal Nehru, hence option 3 is the correct answer. Now, let`s inspect the other options.

Option 1 suggests Bal Gangadhar Tilak, but he passed away in 1920, almost a decade before the Lahore Session, so this option is incorrect.

Option 2 refers to Gopal Krishna Gokhale. He was a significant leader of the Congress party, but he died in 1915.

Option 4 presents Motilal Nehru, the father of Jawaharlal Nehru. While he was involved in Indian politics and a prominent leader in the independence movement, he did not preside over the Lahore Session in 1929. His son Jawaharlal Nehru was the president of that session, making option 3 the correct answer.
