Hint:
Non-cooperation movement, a fruitless endeavour in 1920–22, coordinated by Mohandas Gandhi, to prompt the British administration of India to allow self-government, or Swaraj, to India. It was one of Gandhi's initially coordinated demonstrations of large-scale civil noncompliance (satyagraha). The development emerged from the broad objection in India over the massacre at Amritsar in April 1919, when the British-drove troops murdered several hundred Indians.

Complete Answer:
The Jallianwala Bagh slaughter denoted a defining moment in India's battle for Independence.
On April 13, 1919, the general population had assembled to observe Baisakhi. Notwithstanding, the British perspective, as observed from the reports present in the National Archives of India, demonstrates that it was a political social gathering. General Dyer entered the Bagh, conveyed his soldiers, and ordered them to start shooting without giving any notice. Individuals hurried to the ways out however Dyer guided his warriors to fire at the exit. The terminating proceeded for 10-15 minutes. 1650 rounds were terminated. The terminating stopped simply after the ammo had run out. The complete assessed figure of the dead as given by General Dyer and Mr. Irving was 291. Notwithstanding, different reports including that of a council headed by Madan Mohan Malviya put the figure of dead at more than 500.

Thus, option (B) is correct.

Note:
A memorial was set up by the Government of India in 1951 at Jallianwala Bagh as a sign of respect to the souls of Indian progressives and the individuals who lost their lives in the ruthless slaughter. It remains as an image of battle and penance and keeps on ingraining energy among the adolescent. In March 2019, the Yaad-e-Jallian Museum was initiated exhibiting a credible record of the massacre.
