Question

Accepted Answer

Step-by-step explanation:

- The organisation that was "divided into two branches" and established by Lokmanya Bal Gangadhar Tilak and Annie Besant is the Home Rule League. They separately formed Home Rule Leagues in the same year, creating two centres of the movement (i.e., $2$ branches).
- Historical facts ruling out other options:
  - Indian Association was founded by Surendranath Banerjee and Anandamohan Bose (not Tilak/Besant).
  - Theosophical Society was founded by H.P. Blavatsky and H.S. Olcott in $1875$; Annie Besant later led it but did not establish it with Tilak.
  - East India Association was founded by Dadabhai Naoroji (not Tilak/Besant).

Therefore the correct choice is (4) Home Rule League.
