Which of the following was / were NOT part/parts of the RIN Mutiny ? 1. Indian National Army 2. HMIS Talwar 3. Hunger strike by naval ratings 4. Lord Irwin Select the correct answer using the code given below:

The Royal Indian Navy (RIN) Mutiny began on February 18, 1946, at the signal school HMIS Talwar in Bombay [1]. The revolt was characterized by a hunger strike by naval ratings protesting against racial discrimination, unpalatable food, and the arrest of a rating for scrawling 'Quit India' on the ship [1]. While the mutineers demanded the release of Indian National Army (INA) prisoners and were inspired by the INA trials, the INA itself was not a participant in the mutiny as it had been disbanded following the end of World War II [3]. Lord Irwin served as Viceroy of India from 1926 to 1931 and was not involved in the events of 1946. Therefore, the Indian National Army (1) and Lord Irwin (4) were not parts of the RIN Mutiny, making option 3 the correct answer.
