2. The Congress Left was disunited and failed to support Bose.
3. The Communists did not support Bose in his endeavours.

A.1, 2 and 3
B.1, 2 and 4
C.1, 3 and 4
D.2 and 4 only
Explanation: * Statement 1 is correct: Subhas Chandra Bose failed to win the confidence of Mahatma Gandhi. After Bose's re-election as INC President in 1939, Gandhi declared the defeat of his candidate, Pattabhi Sitaramayya, as his own defeat. * Statement 2 is correct: The Congress Left was disunited; the Congress Socialist Party, Communists, and Royists were fragmented and failed to present a united front behind Bose during the Tripuri Crisis. * Statement 3 is incorrect: While the Communists did not support Bose's radical approach, they did support the Left Consolidation Committee initiated by the Forward Bloc in June 1939; their stance was more about keeping unity under Gandhi rather than a direct trigger for creating the Bloc. * Statement 4 is correct: Supporters of M.N. Roy and socialist leaders like Jayaprakash Narayan preferred Congress unity over supporting Bose. They abstained from voting on the Govind Ballabh Pant resolution, which effectively withdrew their support from Bose to prevent a split in the Congress.
