The correct answer is (b) 1925.
The Kumaun Parishad was a political party in the Kumaon region of India. It was founded in 1923 by a group of Kumaoni leaders who were opposed to the British Raj. The party’s main goal was to achieve self-rule for Kumaon.
In 1925, the Kumaun Parishad merged with the Indian National Congress. This merger was seen as a major victory for the Congress, as it gave the party a strong foothold in the Kumaon region.
The merger of the Kumaun Parishad with the Congress was a significant event in the history of Kumaon. It marked the beginning of a new era in the region’s political development.

Option (c) is incorrect because the Kumaun Parishad merged with the Congress in 1925, not 1926. Option (d) is incorrect because the Kumaun Parishad merged with the Congress in 1925, not 1931.
