Answer 1

Hint: Quit India Movement was a nationwide action call to Make India free from British Rule and it was initiated by the Father of India.

Complete answer:
Britishers ruled over India during the period of 1876 to 1948. They exploited India for natural resources among other things. They took over the Indian revenue system.
Mostly, they used cloth, spices, and other Indian produce and sell it for profits abroad. India had plenty of natural resources and cheap labor, which was the obvious cause of the attraction of British rulers.
They adopted the policy of divide and conquer to win over the country. Prior to British rule, India was called “Hindustan” based on the religion which was commonly preached ie. Hinduism.
Quit India movement initiated by the Father of India, Mohandas Karam Chand Gandhi Ji. The slogan was coined by the famous Socialist and trade unionist Yusuf Maherally who was also the Mayor of Mumbai back then. The idea was to make India independent again, to be free from British rule, and to have a democratic economy rather than an autocratic rule.
The push was witnessed in 1942, being the year when the said movement was initiated. Some other noticeable leaders who participated in the movement were, apart from Gandhiji, Asoka Mehta, Mohammed Ali Jinnah, Dr. Rajendra Prasad, Chakravarti Rajgopalchari, Maulana Abdul Kalam Azad, Subhash Chandra Bose, Jaya Prakash Narayan, and Pandit Jawahar Lal Nehru.
So, the correct answer is Option C.

Note: So, summing up, having explained a brief about the movement, the correct answer to the question is, as mentioned, 1942. Quit India movement gave birth to another nationwide called out movement known as the Do or Die movement, which was a mass civil disobedience movement to give the final push to Britishers out of the country.
