The correct answer is (d). Mahatma Gandhi was arrested in New Delhi in connection with the Quit India Movement.

The Quit India Movement was a major movement launched by Mahatma Gandhi on August 8, 1942, calling for the British to quit India. The movement was launched in response to the failure of the Cripps Mission to resolve the Indian independence issue. The movement was met with a severe crackdown by the British government, and Gandhi was arrested along with other leaders of the Indian National Congress.

Gandhi was arrested on August 9, 1942, at his home in Birla House in New Delhi. He was taken to the Aga Khan Palace in Poona, where he was kept under house arrest for the next two years. The Quit India Movement was a major turning point in the Indian independence struggle, and it helped to pave the way for India’s independence in 1947.
