    Neither 1 nor 2

Explanation

  • The Extremists wanted the 1907 session to be held in Nagpur (Central Provinces), with Tilak or Lajpat Rai as the President, along with a reiteration of the Swadeshi, Boycott and National Education resolutions.
  • The Moderates wanted the session at Surat, in order to exclude Tilak from the presidency, since a leader from the host province could not be the session President (Surat being Tilak’s home province of Bombay). Instead, they wanted Rashbehari Ghosh as the President and sought to drop the resolutions on Swadeshi, Boycott and National Education.
  • Both sides adopted rigid positions, leaving no room for compromise. The split became inevitable and the Congress was now dominated by the Moderates, who lost no time in reiterating Congress’ commitment to the goal of self-government within the British Empire and to the use of constitutional methods only to achieve this goal.
