The correct option is C 1919
Year 1919 occupies a great place in the history of India’s freedom struggle.
The First World War led to a huge increase in defence expenditure for which taxes were increased, custom duties were raised and income tax was introduced. Through the war years prices increased- doubling between 1913 and 1918- leading to extreme hardship among the common people. Villages were called upon to supply soldiers & the forced recruitment in rural areas caused widespread anger. People hoped that their hardships would end after the war was over. But that did not happen. Every section of the Indian society was unhappy with the British government because of multiple reasons which became severe from the year 1919 and the movement became a national one.
