{'dadabhai naoroji': [1, 1, 1, 1], 'calcutta session': [1, 0, 4, 2], 'lahore session': [0, 0, 2, 2], 'swaraj': [0, 0, 0, 2], 'congress session': [0, 0, 2, 0], 'political efforts': [0, 0, 1, 0], 'benares session': [0, 0, 1, 0], 'india': [8, 1, 7, 13]}

At the 1906 Calcutta session of the Congress, Dadabhai Naoroji announced that Swaraj, meaning self-governance or independence, was the goal of India`s political efforts.

Option 1, the 1886 Calcutta session, is incorrect as Dadabhai Naoroji did not make this announcement at that session.

Option 2, the 1893 Lahore session, is incorrect as Dadabhai Naoroji did not make this announcement at that session either.

Option 3, the 1905 Benares session, is incorrect as Dadabhai Naoroji did not make this announcement at that session.

Therefore, the correct answer is option 4, the 1906 Calcutta session, which is when Dadabhai Naoroji announced that Swaraj was the goal of India`s political efforts.
