The correct answer is: a) Hijam Irabot.

Hijam Irabot was a Manipuri freedom fighter who played a role in the Indian National Army (INA). He was born in 1908 in Imphal, Manipur. He was a student leader and a member of the All India Forward Bloc. He was arrested by the British in 1942 for his involvement in the Quit India Movement. He was released in 1945 and joined the INA. He was killed in action in 1946.

Bir Tikendrajit Singh was a Manipuri prince who fought against the British in the Anglo-Manipur War of 1891. He was executed by the British in 1891.

Mahatma Gandhi was an Indian lawyer, anti-colonial nationalist, and civil rights activist who employed nonviolent resistance to lead the successful campaign for India’s independence from British rule, and in turn inspired movements for civil rights and freedom across the world. The honorific title Mahatma—meaning “high-souled”—was bestowed on him first in 1914 in South Africa, and became widely used in India in the 1920s.
