Choose the correct example of a historical allusion.

response to my programme of non-co-operation Swaraj would be attained in one year."
O "Let us not mistake reformed councils, more lawcourts and even governorships for real freedom or power. They are but subtler
methods of emasculation."
O "The Germans were defeated not because they were necessarily in the wrong, but because the allied Powers were found to possess
greater brute strength."
"My proposition however is based on a mathematical calculation. And I venture to say that true Swaraj is a practical impossibility
without due fulfilment of my conditions."

The Germans were defeated not because they were necessarily in the wrong, but because the allied Powers were found to possess greater brute strength.

Explanation:

Allusion is a figure of speech that represents a relatively indirect reference to another text, place, historical period, or author. Depending on the type of reference, there are different types of allusion:

Religious - an allusion to a religious text or figure;
Historical - an allusion to a historical period, event, or figure;
Mythological - an allusion to a mythological story or figure;
Literary - an allusion to a literary text or figure.

The only historical allusion can be found in the third option, where events from the Second World War are referenced.
