Not attemptedCorrect Answer: (c) Subhas Chandra Bose
Subhas Chandra Bose viewed the outbreak of World War II between Britain and Germany/Japan as a ‘god-sent opportunity’ to seek foreign help against British rule; he later left India, sought support first from Germany and then from Japan, and formed the Indian National Army.
