The correct option is B They took advantage of the dissension among the nationalist forces caused by the suspension of the Non-cooperation Movement.

On March 10, 1922, Mahatma Gandhi was arrested. On March 18, 1922, he was imprisoned for six years for publishing seditious materials. This led to the suppression of the movement and was followed by the arrest of other leaders.
