The correct option is A Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A


Swaraj or self-rule was one of the aims of the Non-cooperation Movement. When the people of India were exposed to the imperialistic nature of the British Government, they were left with no other option other than self-rule, whether within or outside the Empire. The movement even led to the formation of the Swaraj Party by Motilal Nehru and Chittaranjan Das, known as the pro-changers. They planned on entering the Legislative Councils and upset the policies of the British from within.
