Answer 1

Answer: (A), (D)

The correct options are
A The acts stripped Indians of their basic right to expression.
D People were forbidden from chanting "Bande Mataram" in public.

The Newspaper Act stripped Indians of their basic right to expression. The mass agitation and calls for boycotting British goods were seen as violence. Swadeshi volunteers were beaten, and people were forbidden from chanting "Bande Mataram" in public. Many Indian officials in the British administration were removed from their services, too.
