Solution

The correct option is D Mahatma Gandhi calling off Non-cooperation movement after Chauri Chaura incident

Explanation:

A mob of peasants and Khilafat agitators burnt 22 policemen alive, after the policemen ordered a lathi charge on them, at Chauri Chaura on 5th February 1922. CWC met at Bardoli in February 1922 & resolved to stop all the activities that led to breaking of law & to get down to constructive work instead, which was to include the popularization of khadi, national schools, Hindu-Muslim unity & against untouchability. Many nationalists had felt that the Non-cooperation movement shouldn’t have been stopped due to isolated incidents of violence. Nationalist leaders including C.R. Das, ML Nehru, SC Bose, JL Nehru, expressed their bewilderment at Gandhi's decision. SC Bose called it “a national calamity”.
