Solution

The correct option is A They wanted more revenue to be directed towards public welfare
In this phase of Indian nationalism, a major chunk of public revenue was used to meet military expenses. Early nationalists wanted the British government to reduce millitary expenditure and channel more money into healthcare, education, and the improvement of public welfare in general.
