The first session of the Indian National Congress was shifted from Poona to Bombay at almost the last moment, because-

• A. Due to the outbreak of cholera in Poona, the organizers were forced to change the location of the first Congress session from Poona to Bombay.
• B. The Governor of Bombay, A.O. to become the first President of the Congress. Agreed with Hume's suggestion.
• C. The newcomers of the Bombay Presidency Union were opposed to the completion of the first session of the Congress in Poona.
• D. Bombay being the capital of the Presidency would have helped in attracting more attention to the session.
