Detailed Solution:

The correct answer is “Only2”.
The Workers and Peasants Party (WPP) was formed in 1927 as a socialist and communist-influenced political organization in British India. Though it initially emerged in different regions (like Bengal, Bombay, and Punjab), by 1928, it was consolidated into an All India Organisation.

The WPP sought to radicalize the Indian National Congress from within by introducing socialist and communist ideologies. It aimed to turn Congress into a pro-worker, pro-peasant movement, pushing it towards class struggle and revolutionary change.
