Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. Nagpur

A resolution supporting Mahatma Gandhi's Non-Cooperation Movement was approved by the Congress in Nagpur in 1920.

The movement's goals are:

  • Every foreign item was burned.
  • To abstain from all government activities.
  • To severely impair the administration of the British Government.
  • To stop working with and supporting government agencies and businesses.
  • To give the British the impression that the Indians' voluntary assistance is essential to the government's survival.

The Causes of Its Later Withdrawal:

  • The movement of non-cooperation came to an abrupt end when Mahatma Gandhi issued an order to retract it.
  • He made this difficult choice as a result of the police station at Chauri Chaura being attacked and set on fire by an enraged mob.
  • In this occurrence, between 20 and 22 people died.
