Result
Your answer:  ·  Correct: D
Explanation

Abhinav Bharat (Young India Society) was a secret revolutionary society founded by Vinayak Damodar Savarkar (V.D. Savarkar) and his brother Ganesh Damodar Savarkar in 1904 [1]. The organization originated from an earlier group called 'Mitra Mela', which was established by the Savarkar brothers in Nashik in 1899 [1]. In 1904, during a meeting of approximately 200 members, the society was renamed Abhinav Bharat, drawing inspiration from Mazzini's 'Young Italy' [1]. The society advocated for the overthrow of British rule through armed rebellion and expanded its activities to include branches across India and even in London [1]. While other figures like Shyamji Krishna Verma and Lala Har Dayal were prominent revolutionaries associated with India House in London, the specific organization of Abhinav Bharat in 1904 is directly attributed to V.D. Savarkar.
