The correct option is A 1 only
Moderates believed in constitutional means and worked within the framework of the law. Their methods included passing resolutions, persuasion, sending petitions and appeals. They had a narrow social base as they did not believe in the power of the masses. They had faith in the British sense of justice and fair play. Examples of moderate leaders-Dadabhai Naoroji, Gopal Krishna Gokhale etc.
