Hint:Mahatma Gandhi led the non-cooperation movement launched in September 2020. It was significant from the point of view of the Indian freedom struggle.

Complete answer:
Gandhi Ji declared to start the movement through being non-violent. Gandhi, through this pronouncement, wanted individuals to: Embrace swadeshi standards, Embrace swadeshi propensities including hand spinning and weaving, Work for the destruction of untouchability from society. There were some important causes of this movement. Such as- economic hardships due to the first world war(1914-1918), resentment at the British after the war, the home rule movement, the Rowlatt Act Satyagraha, Jallianwala Bagh Massacre. Gandhiji suspended its development in February 1922 in the wake of the Chauri Chaura occurrence. In Chauri Chaura, Uttar Pradesh, a vicious crowd put a match to a police headquarters slaughtering 22 police officers during a conflict between the police and dissenters of the development. Gandhiji canceled the development saying individuals were not prepared to rebel against the public authority through ahimsa. A few chiefs like Motilal Nehru and C R Das were against the suspension of the development simply because of irregular occurrences of viciousness.

Hence, the correct answer is option (B).

Note:it was a mass development where lakhs of Indians took an interest in the open dissent against the public authority through tranquil methods. It shook the British government who was confused by the degree of the development. It saw cooperation from the two Hindus and Muslims along these lines exhibiting common agreement in the nation.
