Hint:- The Khilafat movement was also known as the Indian Muslim movement took place between the period 1919–24.
It was led by Shaukat Ali, Maulana Mohammad Ali Jauhar, Hakim Ajmal Khan, and Abul Kalam Azad in India.
These khilafat leaders also cooperate with Mahatma Gandhi by joining the non-cooperation movement for India's struggle for freedom.

Complete answer:
The Khilafat Movement of the Indian Muslims related to the Restoration of the sultan of Turkey who was the Caliph of the Muslim World. So C is the correct answer.
The movement was raised to protect the Ottoman Empire after the First World War by the Treaty of Sèvres imposed on Turkey.
The movement ended in 1922 when Turkey got a favorable position in world politics.
But the movement failed when in 1924, Turkey simply abolished the role of the caliphate.

Hence, answer C is the right option.

Note: Ottoman sultan Abdul Hamid II was nominally the supreme religious and political leader of all Sunni Muslims across the world. but this authority was never actually used.
During the late 19th century Jamaluddin Afghani sent to India by the Ottoman Sultan to evoked religious passion and sympathy amongst Indian Muslims.
This movement had lost its glory when Mustafa Kemal Ataturk had abolished the Caliphate.
