Answer

Poona Sarvajanik Sabha and Bombay Presidency Association were both established prior to the founding of the Indian National Congress in December 1885.
Both Poona Sarvajanik Sabha (founded in 1870) and the Bombay Presidency Association (founded in early 1885) were established prior to the first session of the Indian National Congress in December 1885.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Identify the founding dates of the listed political organizations.
Poona Sarvajanik Sabha (1870), Bombay Presidency Association (early 1885), Servants of India Society (1905), and Indian Home Rule League (1916).
Establishing accurate chronological dates helps separate pre-Congress associations from post-1885 organizations.
2
Compare each organization's establishment date against the landmark date of December 1885 (founding of the Indian National Congress).
Poona Sarvajanik Sabha (1870) and Bombay Presidency Association (early 1885) preceded the Indian National Congress.
Only organizations founded before December 1885 qualify as pre-Congress associations.
