The correct answer is option 1, George Yule. He was the first English president of the Indian National Congress (INC). The INC was established in 1885 with the aim of representing the interests of the Indian people and advocating for their rights. George Yule, who was a British businessman and a member of the Indian Civil Service, became the first non-Indian to hold the position of the president of the INC. Under his presidency, the INC focused on demanding more representation for Indians in the British colonial government and pushing for social and economic reforms. George Yule`s presidency marked an important milestone in the history of the Indian National Congress as it showed a willingness to collaborate and work towards common goals with British officials.
