Due to the spread of the plague in Pune at which place was the first session of the congress held?
Answer: B
The first session of the Congress was held at Bombay.
The Indian National Congress was to hold its first session at Poona in December 1885, but an epidemic there forced a move. (Most accounts name the disease as cholera; the question calls it plague.) The session met at Gokuldas Tejpal Sanskrit College, Bombay, from 28 to 31 December 1885, with W.C. Bonnerjee presiding and 72 delegates.
Calcutta hosted the second session in 1886 and Madras the third in 1887. Lucknow came much later.
