Option 3 : 3

The correct answer is 3

• Let's look at each part of the sentence:
  • The 26th of January was chosen:
    • ​ This part is grammatically correct since the superlative article 'the' is used to refer to a very special date in our country's history
  • to commemorate the Purna Swaraj:
    • ​Here, the usage of the superlative article 'the' to refer to Purna Swaraj is correct as it refers to a specific historical declaration
  • declaration for the complete independence, of 1930:
    • ​The word declaration means a formal statement of something
    • It is followed by the preposition of. Example: Declaration of freedom, declaration of love etc
    • The part '..., of 1930' is used to convey that the declaration was made in the year 1930 and is grammatically correct

The correct sentence is: The 26th of January was chosen to commemorate the Purna Swaraj declaration of the complete independence, of 1930.
