The correct options are
A Reduction of revenue
B Abolition of Begar
D Social boycott of oppressive landlords
The Non-Cooperation Movement was not limited to the cities; it also spread in the countryside. The peasant movement in Awadh demanded three things - the reduction of revenue, the abolition of begar, and a social boycott of oppressive landlords. Begar was a system of forced labour done by the villagers without any payment. They were also exploited by the talukdars and landlords, and had to pay very high rents.
