Correct Answer: B — 1, 2 and 4
Explanation:
Bose's political break with the Gandhian leadership is one key factor. The Congress Left is divided and unable to unite effectively behind him. Supporters of M.N. Roy and socialist figures like Jayaprakash Narayan are prioritizing Congress unity over Bose's line. Therefore, statement 3 is not correct.
