Answer 1

The correct option is C where violence erupted during the Non-cooperation Movement

The police fired upon a Congress procession of 3300 peasants at Chauri Chaura in Gorakhpur. The angry crowd set the police station on fire, killing twenty two policemen. Since the movement took a violent turn, Gandhiji called off the movement in 1922.
