(4-a) - Based on the correct matches (1-c, 2-d, 4-a), Option C is the only choice that aligns with these pairings. - Option C pairs 1924 with Poorna Swaraj. Historically, the demand for 'Poorna Swaraj' (Complete Independence) was formalized by the Indian National Congress at its Lahore session in December 1929, and the resolution was adopted and celebrated on January 26, 1930. 1924 is not correctly associated with Poorna Swaraj.
