Correct Option:
D
Explanation
The Non-Cooperation Movement of 1920–22 transformed the freedom struggle into a genuinely broad mass movement involving students, lawyers, peasants, traders and other sections of society. It presented the British Raj with a challenge on a scale not seen since 1857 and demonstrated the political power of organised mass non-cooperation.
