Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: C
Explanation

The All India Trade Union Congress (AITUC) was established on October 31, 1920, in Bombay [1]. While Lala Lajpat Rai served as the first President, N. M. Joshi is credited as one of the primary founders and the key architect behind its creation. Joshi, who was nominated as the workers' delegate to the International Labour Conference in 1919, suggested convening an all-India meeting to reach a mutual consensus among various labor organizations. This initiative led to the 1920 convention and the subsequent formation of the AITUC to represent Indian labor globally. Other prominent figures involved in its inception included Joseph Baptista and Diwan Chaman Lall. B. P. Wadia, though a pioneer in the labor movement with the Madras Labour Union, served as an advisor during the initial processes but is not the primary creator of the AITUC federation.
