The correct option is B A is correct and R is incorrect

Students and teachers played an active role in the Swadeshi movement. To suppress their involvement, the British sent out circulars like Carlyle Circular and Lyon Circular which led to numerous expulsions. To oppose these circulars, many nationalist societies like the Dawn Society and the Anti-Circular society were formed. Educational institutions and councils were also formed, which promoted national education.
