The correct answer is C) Jawaharlal Nehru. During his visit to the North-West Frontier Province (NWFP) in October 1938, Gandhiji was primarily hosted by Khan Abdul Ghaffar Khan, the leader of the Khudai Khidmatgar movement in that region, who certainly accompanied him during his tours there. Sushila Nayar was Gandhiji’s personal physician and often travelled with him, as was Amtus Salam, a close associate. While Jawaharlal Nehru was a national leader and close to Gandhi, historical accounts of this specific visit primarily mention Gandhi, K.A.G. Khan, and members of Gandhi’s immediate entourage like secretaries and physicians, but not Nehru as part of the accompanying group from outside NWFP.

– Gandhiji’s visit to NWFP in 1938 was significant as it was a stronghold of Khan Abdul Ghaffar Khan’s non-violent movement.
– He toured the province to assess the political situation and the work of the Khudai Khidmatgars.
– Sushila Nayar served as Gandhi’s physician and close companion during many of his travels.
– Amtus Salam was a dedicated follower who lived in Gandhi’s ashrams and often accompanied him.

Leaders like Nehru frequently met Gandhi and visited different parts of the country for political work, but they were not always part of Gandhi’s personal touring party on every occasion. The question specifically asks who *did not accompany* him, implying who was not part of his travelling group for this visit.
