Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is option 3 i.e. Chauri-Chaura incident.

The Non-Cooperation Movement was called off after the Chauri Chaura incident in 1922. On February 5, 1922, a violent incident occurred at Chauri Chaura, a village in Uttar Pradesh, where a group of protesters clashed with the police. The police opened fire on the protesters, and in retaliation, a mob set the police station on fire, resulting in the deaths of 22 police officers. Mahatma Gandhi, who was leading the Non-Cooperation Movement at the time, called off the movement in response to the violence.
