c) Both i and ii


93 Ans C

Explanation: Most of the prominent leaders including Gandhi and Nehru were arrested by the British on 9th August making quit India Movement virtually a leaderless movement. The reins of the movement were handled by lesser known second-tier leaders.

Gandhi did not formulate any definite programmer of action before he was arrested on 9th August. The violent acts in the 1942 movement were not of its original character, and the QIM movement in 1942 shortly merged itself into the revolutionary or terrorist movement.

The general public attacked symbols of authority, hoisting national flags forcibly on public buildings. Satyagrahis offered themselves up to arrest, bridges were blown up, railway tracks were removed and telegraph lines were cut
