Attempt This Question
Not attemptedCorrect Answer: (c) A naval ship on voyage to China
Komagata Maru was a Japanese steamship chartered by Punjabi migrants that sailed to Vancouver in 1914; its passengers were refused entry and the ship was sent back, making it a symbol of colonial discrimination. It was a vessel—not a party, person or village—so option (c) "a naval ship" is the only correct description.
