Explanation
The correct answer is D, 1, 2 and 3. Each person held the position shown against his name.
Sir Tej Bahadur Sapru, an eminent lawyer and Moderate, was a leading figure of the All India (National) Liberal Federation formed by Moderates who left the Congress in 1918, and served as its president; he also attended the Round Table Conferences. K. C. Neogy was elected to the Constituent Assembly from West Bengal, later served in Nehru's cabinet and chaired the First Finance Commission in 1951. P. C. Joshi was the first General Secretary of the Communist Party of India, from 1935 to 1947, and built its mass organisations during the freedom struggle.
A is wrong: it leaves out pairs 2 and 3, both correctly matched.
B is wrong: it leaves out pair 3; P. C. Joshi did lead the CPI as General Secretary.
C is wrong: it leaves out pairs 1 and 2, which are also correct.
Exam tip: Sapru = Liberal Federation; K. C. Neogy = Constituent Assembly and First Finance Commission; P. C. Joshi = first CPI General Secretary.
