Answer: (B) Avadi Session of 1955
The Indian National Congress adopted the 'socialistic pattern of society' as its goal at the Avadi (Madras) session in January 1955, which shaped the Second Five-Year Plan. The Nagpur session of 1959 is known for the resolution on cooperative farming, not for this goal.
