Answer

Answer: Option D

Solution

Answer: Option D
Solution:
At the break of dawn on 29th March, 1943 by 5.30 a.m., Laxman Naik gallantly marched towards the Gallows. He wished his last, "If the sun is true, and so is the moon, it is then equally true that mother India shall be independent." Rammurty, the Zamadar of jail pulled the lever bringing the iron plate under his feet down. There ended his life, and he was buried inside the jail compound. Though Laxman Naik did not live to see free India, he remained imprinted in the minds of millions of people of India as the leader of leaders.
