A. Jawaharlal Nehru
B. Dr. B. R. Ambedkar

D. Dr. Rajendra Prasad
Answer
Hint: The three Round Table Conferences of 1930–32 were a series of peace conferences organized by the British Government and Indian political personalities to discuss constitutional reforms in India.
Complete answer:
Round table conferences were conducted as per the recommendation of Jinnah to Viceroy Lord Irwin and Prime Minister Ramsay MacDonald, and by the report submitted by the Simon Commission in May 1930. Demands for Swaraj, or self-rule, in India had been
growing increasingly strong.
The first Round Table Conference started when M.K Gandhi and Jawaharlal Nehru were in jail. So nehru did not attend the conference.
Dr. B.R. Ambedkar fought for the upliftment of down trodden classes who faced discrimination from olden times. He always strived for the betterment of lower castes and he was the only person who attended all the three round table conferences.
Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel attended a round table conference in London with
Gandhi. In 1932, after the unsuccessful Round Table Conference in London Patel was jailed at Yerwada Jail in Pune with Gandhi.
Dr. Rajendra Prasad did not attend the round table conference but after failure of conference with arrest of Gandhiji, dr.Rajendra Prasad was also arrested.
Therefore the correct answer is B. Dr. B. R. Ambedkar.
Note: B.R. Ambedkar and Tej Bahadur Sapru took part in all the three round table conferences. Mahatma Gandhi took part in the Second Round Table Conference. Round table conference failed because of the opposition from other parties representing British India such as Muslim league, princely states and Ambedkar. They had their own vested interests and the announcement of Reservation of seats for depressed class acted as a nail in the coffin.

Answer
Verified
Hint: The Round Table Conferences were held between 1930-1932. These conferences were a sequence of peace meetings held by the British government and Indian political leaders to discuss constitutional reforms in India.
Complete answer: B.R Ambedkar participated in all three round table conferences. B.R Ambedkar was the leader of the depressed classes and the untouchables. He fought for their rights. He worked for the upliftment of the lower castes in India. The First Round
Table Conference was held in the House of the Lords in London. The Chairman was Prime Minister Ramsay McDonald. There were 58 representatives from British India and 16 from the Princely states. No one from the Indian Nation Congress attended the meeting because most of the leaders were in jail.
The Second Round Table Conference took place on 7th September 1931 in London. Mahatma Gandhi, Muhammad Ali Jinnah Sarojini Naidu, B.R Ambedkar participated in this conference along with other Indian
leaders from the Congress, Muslim League and other parties. The major change in this conference was that the Indian National Congress was participating in this because of the promises made in the Gandhi-Irwin Pact. The Third Round Table Conference took place on 17th November 1932 and nothing much happened. The Congress was not invited. Few recommendations were passed during the Conference whose outcome was the Government of India Act,1935.
Note: There were no significant outcomes from the Round Table Conferences because the leaders of the Indian political parties were vested in their own interests. Although these were very important meetings. Although there were discussions regarding representation for the religious groups in India, nothing was done for the Depressed classes and they were completely eliminated from the Government of India Act 1935.
