Answer
Exam answer
(a) Dadabhai Naoroji.
Explanation
Dadabhai Naoroji presided over the SECOND session, at Calcutta in 1886. W.C. Bonnerjee had presided over the FIRST, at Bombay in 1885 — which is why option (b) is the trap for anyone who remembers only the first president. The other two are genuine Congress presidents of later sessions: Badruddin Tyabji was the third (1887) and the first Muslim president, and Rashbehari Ghosh presided at Surat in 1907.
In words
Dadabhai Naoroji.
