Not attemptedCorrect Answer: (a) Mahatma Gandhi
The official answer key credits Mahatma Gandhi with founding the Ahmedabad Textile Labour Association (Majoor Mahajan Sangh) in 1920; he organised the Ahmedabad mill workers, chaired the union and formulated its ethical framework. (Historically Anasuya Sarabhai spearheaded the effort under Gandhi’s guidance, but the exam attributes the founding to Gandhi.) The other leaders listed were not connected with its establishment.
