Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is option 1 i.e. 1922-February.
The Non‑Cooperation Movement, launched by Mahatma Gandhi in September 1920, was withdrawn in February 1922. The immediate trigger for its withdrawal was the Chauri-Chaura incident (4 February 1922), where a violent clash led to the burning of a police station and the death of 22 policemen. Shocked by this escalation of violence, Gandhi decided on 11–12 February 1922 to suspend the movement, reiterating his commitment to non‑violence and cautioning that the masses needed more disciplined training before engaging in mass civil disobedience.
