The correct answer is option 3: Udham Singh. Udham Singh was the one who shot dead General Dyer, the British officer responsible for the Jallianwalan Bagh massacre. The Jallianwalan Bagh massacre took place on April 13, 1919, in Amritsar, India. General Dyer ordered his troops to open fire on a crowd of unarmed Indian protesters, resulting in the death of hundreds of people and injuring many more. Udham Singh, an Indian revolutionary, sought revenge for the massacre and assassinated General Dyer on March 13, 1940, in London. Udham Singh was later hanged for the murder.
