Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is option 2 i.e. Khilafat Movement.
Gandhiji hoped that by coupling non-cooperation with the Khilafat Movement, India’s two major religious communities, Hindus and Muslims, could collectively bring an end to colonial rule. The Khilafat Movement was led by Indian Muslims in support of the Ottoman Caliphate, which was threatened by the Allies' actions after World War I. Gandhiji saw this as an opportunity to unite Hindus and Muslims in a common struggle against British rule, thus strengthening the broader nationalist movement for independence.
