💡 Analysis & Explanation
[Statement A Fact-Check] ▼
The foundational history of the Indian National Congress firmly establishes that it was instituted in December 1885 by Allan Octavian Hume, a retired British civil servant. This statement is historically accurate.
[Statement B Fact-Check] ▼
While WC Bonnerjee was indeed the first president, the geographical location mentioned is incorrect. The inaugural session was originally slated for Pune, but an unforeseen cholera outbreak forced a relocation. Consequently, the historic first session took place at Gokuldas Tejpal Sanskrit College in Bombay (now Mumbai).
[Final Verdict] ▼
Only the first statement holds true.
Conclusion ▼
Option 1 is the correct selection.
