Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: B
Explanation

The Chittagong Armoury Raid of 18 April 1930 was planned and led by Surya Sen, who organised a revolutionary group named the Indian Republican Army to carry out simultaneous attacks on the armouries, telegraph offices and police barracks to sever communications and rail links, challenge colonial authority and symbolically hoist the national flag [1]. The raid involved about 65 activists under the Indian Republican Army—Chittagong Branch, after which Sen proclaimed a provisional revolutionary government; the action and its aftermath inspired further revolutionary activity in the region [2]. Thus, Surya Sen is the organiser of the famous Chittagong Armoury Raid.
