Answer 1

Answer: (A)

Of the Chauri Chaura outrage

Chauri Chaura is a place located in Gorakhpur district of Uttar Pradesh. The movement was in full swing when in Chauri Chaura, Gorakhpur, the police fired upon a Congress procession of about 3,300 peasants. The angry crowd set the police station on fire, killing 22 policemen. Gandhiji had always emphasised that the entire movement should be non-violent & peaceful. After this incident he called off the movement unilaterally in 1922.
