Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Concept: Matching political historical movements, leaders, and slogans from Indian politics during the 1970s.

Step 1: Matching each item from List-I with its corresponding pair in List-II.

• (a) Congress for Democracy: Formed in 1977 just before the 6th General Elections by veteran leader Jagjivan Ram (iii) along with Hemvati Nandan Bahuguna and Nandini Satpathy, after resigning from Congress.
• (b) Garibi Hatao: The famous populist electoral slogan ("Remove Poverty") launched by Indira Gandhi (iv) during the 1971 Lok Sabha elections.
• (c) Student movement led by Morarji Desai: Refers to the Navnirman Movement in Gujarat (i) in early 1974 against price rise and corruption, which was actively supported by Morarji Desai, who undertook an indefinite fast leading to fresh assembly elections.
• (d) Total Revolution (Sampoorna Kranti): The call given by Jayaprakash Narayan (ii) during the Bihar Movement in 1974 to establish true democracy in socio-economic and political spheres.

Step 2: Combining the matched pairs.
(a) $\rightarrow$ (iii)
(b) $\rightarrow$ (iv)
(c) $\rightarrow$ (i)
(d) $\rightarrow$ (ii)
This sequence matches Option (C): (a)-(iii), (b)-(iv), (c)-(i), (d)-(ii).
