The correct answer is (c) 1921.
Subhash Chandra Bose was selected in the Indian Civil Service in 1921. However, he resigned from the ICS in 1922 to join the Indian independence movement. He became a prominent leader of the Indian National Congress and was a key figure in the Quit India Movement of 1942. He also founded the Indian National Army (INA) in 1942, which fought against the British in World War II. Bose died in a plane crash in 1945.
Option (a), 1917, is incorrect because Bose was not selected in the ICS in 1917. He was born in 1897 and graduated from Presidency College in Calcutta in 1919. He then went to England to study at the University of Cambridge. He passed the ICS examination in 1920 but was not selected for the ICS because he was considered to be a radical.
Option (b), 1920, is incorrect because Bose was not selected in the ICS in 1920. He was selected in the ICS in 1921 but resigned from the ICS in 1922 to join the Indian independence movement.
Option (d), 1922, is incorrect because Bose was selected in the ICS in 1921 but resigned from the ICS in 1922 to join the Indian independence movement.
