The correct answer is B) Narendra Dev.
Acharya Narendra Dev was a prominent leader of the Congress Socialist Party (CSP), which was formed within the Indian National Congress in 1934. He was a key ideologue and advocate of democratic socialism in India and actively represented the socialist viewpoint within the Congress party’s discussions and policies.
Rajendra Prasad and Sardar Patel represented the more conservative and nationalist wing of the Congress. Maulana Azad was a secular nationalist and a senior statesman in the Congress, but not primarily identified with the socialist faction. Prominent socialist leaders in the Congress included Jayaprakash Narayan, Ram Manohar Lohia, and Achyut Patwardhan, besides Narendra Dev.
