Answer 1

Answer:

B. iii only

Statement iii is false: In the historic KPCC presidential election of January 1939, Muhammed Abdur Rahman actually defeated K. Kelappan (the candidate backed by the right-wing faction of the Congress) to become the President of the KPCC. The statement claims he was defeated, making it false. He did attend the Tripuri Congress session (i), he held the dual leadership roles for KPCC and the Forward Block (ii), and he was jailed under the Defence of India Rules on July 3, 1940, for his anti-war speeches (iv).
