The correct answer is West Bengal.

The Forward Bloc was formed by Subhas Chandra Bose on May 3, 1939, after he resigned from the presidency of the Indian National Congress. The party’s formation and early activities were primarily centered in Bengal, which was Subhas Chandra Bose’s home state and a major political hub. While the founding happened in 1939, its organization and activities continued into 1940 from its base in Bengal.

The Forward Bloc aimed to consolidate all radical elements within the Congress and elsewhere to strengthen the anti-imperialist struggle. Subhas Chandra Bose was subsequently arrested in 1940 by the British for his activities.
