  1. Which one of the following statements is not true in respect of A.O. Hume ?
    1. He was an ornithologist.
    2. He was a member of the Indian Civil Service.
    3. He founded the Indian National Congress,
    4. He presided over the Congress Annual Sessions twice.
Correct Option: D

Allan Octavian Hume was a civil servant, political reformer and amateur ornithologist and horticulturalist in British India. He was one of the founders of the Indian National Congress. Though it was he who emerged as the founder of the Congress, it had somehow never happened to Hume to preside over a plenary session even once.
