Correct Answer: B
Solution :
[b] In 1876, it was founded by Ananda Mohan Bose and Surendranath Banerjee. Soon the Indian Association becomes 'the centre of the leading representatives of the educated community of Bengal'. Lytton's unpopular measures whipped up political activity in India. A regulation of 1876 reduced the maximum age for appearing in the Indian Civil Services examination, from 21 to 19 years.

The Indian Association took up this question and organised an all-India agitation against it, popularly known as the Indian Civil Service Agitation.
