Which of the following statements about Sir Choturam are correct? (A) He began…

A "select the correct statements" question built from several independent factual claims about a historical figure is answered by checking each claim separately against the verified record, then matching the option whose code lists exactly the claims that hold true - omitting a true claim or including a false one both make an option wrong.

1. Statement (A): Sir Chhotu Ram entered public life through the Indian National Congress in the early twentieth century, so this claim holds.

2. Statement (B): He subsequently broke away to co-found, with Sir Fazl-i-Husain and Sir Sikandar Hayat Khan, the Unionist Party in 1923, the party that went on to dominate Punjab politics - so this claim holds too.

3. Statement (C): From 1937 until his death in 1945 he held ministerial office, the Revenue and Development portfolios, in the undivided Punjab government under the Unionist ministry - so this claim also holds.

Cross-checking against the documented founding of the Unionist Party - a coalition explicitly formed by agriculturist leaders who had first cut their teeth in the Congress before turning to communal-agrarian coalition politics - corroborates both the Congress-to-Unionist trajectory and the ministerial career independently of any single source.

Since all three statements verify as true, the option recording that (A), (B) and (C) are all correct is the right code.

• "Only statement (B) & (C) are correct" wrongly drops the Congress-origin claim, even though his political career is documented as beginning inside the Congress before he moved on.

• "Only statement (A) & (C) are correct" wrongly drops the Unionist Party claim, even though his co-founding role in that party is independently documented.

• "Only statement (A) is correct" wrongly drops both the Unionist Party and ministerial claims, capturing only the earliest stage of his career.
