Correct Answer: Bombay


Solution : The correct answer is Bombay.

The first session was held in 1885 in Bombay under the Presidentship of W. C. Bonnerjee. The first session of the Indian National Congress (INC) was planned for Poona, but due to a plague outbreak in Poona, the venue was changed to Bombay. With the cooperation of leading intellectuals of the time, A. O. Hume organised the first session of the Indian National Congress in December 1885 in Bombay.
