• B. Reduction of tax and duties on salt and sugar

Answer 1

The correct option is B Reduction of tax and duties on salt and sugar

The early nationalists wanted more Indians to be employed for higher services. They wanted the Civil Services Exams be held in both England and India, so that more Indian students could appear for it. They demanded that the judiciary be seperated from executive. They also demanded that land revenues be reduced, and tax on salt and duties on sugar be completely demolished.
