Answer 1

Hint: The Amritsar massacre, also known as the Jallianwala Bagh massacre took place on 13 April 1919, in which General Dyer ordered the British Indian Army to fire their rifles into a crowd of unarmed Indian civilians.

Complete answer:
General Dyer imposed Martial Law in Amritsar. The Jallianwala Bagh massacre, also known as the Amritsar massacre, took place on 13 April 1919, when Acting Brigadier-General Reginald Dyer ordered troops of the British Indian Army to fire their rifles into a crowd of unarmed Indian civilians[3] in Jallianwala Bagh, Amritsar, Punjab, killing at least 379 people and injuring over 1,200 other people.

Brigadier-General Reginald Dyer convinced a major insurrection could take place, and thus banned all meetings On Sunday, 13 April 1919. Many villagers gathered in the Bagh to celebrate the important Indian festival of Baisakhi, and peacefully protest the arrest and deportation of two national leaders, Satyapal and Saifuddin Kitchlew, but this notice was not widely disseminated.

Until the ammunition supply was almost exhausted, Dyer and his troops entered the garden, blocking the main entrance behind them, took up position on a raised bank, and with no warning opened fire on the crowd for about ten minutes, directing their bullets largely towards the few open gates through which people were trying to flee.

The next day, when asked Dyer, stated that "I have heard that between 200 and 300 of the crowd were killed. My party fired 1,650 rounds". For failing to compile a detailed casualty count, and quoted a figure offered by the Sewa Samiti (a Social Services Society) of 379 identified dead,[1] and approximately 1,200 wounded, of whom 192 were seriously injured, The Hunter Commission report published the following year by the Government of India criticized both Dyer personally and also the Government of Punjab.
With approximately 1,000 dead, The casualty number estimated by the Indian National Congress was more than 1,500 injured

Hence, the correct answer is option (C)

Note: Dyer was lauded for his actions by some in Britain and indeed became a hero among many of those who were directly benefiting from the British Raj, such as members of the House of Lords. He was, however, widely denounced and criticized in the House of Commons, whose July 1920 committee of investigation censured him. Because he was a soldier acting on orders, he could not be tried for murder.
