Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

The Non-Cooperation Movement was called off by Mahatma Gandhi in 1922 following the Chauri-Chaura incident, where a violent clash between protestors and police resulted in the burning of a police station and the death of 22 policemen. Gandhi believed that the movement’s objectives could not be achieved through violence and insisted on maintaining the principle of non-violence, which was central to his philosophy of Satyagraha.
