Hint: This occurrence happened in the city of Amritsar, on April 13 1919. In this occurrence the British soldiers shot dead 379 unarmed demonstrators at a political gathering in the Punjab city of Amritsar. This occurrence occurred in a nursery which is presently a commemoration place for the individuals who were murdered in it.

Complete answer:
The Rowlatt Act allowed certain political cases to be tried without juries and permitted imprisonment of suspects without trial. It was immediately followed by the Jallianwala Bagh Massacre. It was the incident in which British troops fired on a large crowd of unarmed Indians in Amritsar killing several hundred people and wounding many hundreds more. On 13 April 1919, thousands of people were gathered at Jallianwala Bagh in Amritsar. General Dyer arrived there with armed troops and ordered ruthless firing on the uninformed crowd.

A) Minto Morley reforms took place in 1909. Thus, Option (a) is not the correct option.
B) The Khilafat movement took place after the Jallianwala massacre so it’s not the right answer. Thus, Option (b) is not the correct option.
C) Jallianwala Bagh massacre is the right answer. Thus, Option (c) is the right option.
D) Karnataka is not the city where Ramananda was born. Thus, Option (d) is not the right option.Thus, from the above explanation we conclude that the Jallianwala Bagh massacre is the Correct Answer.

Hence the correct answer is option ‘A’.

Note:
1) The exhibit was to request the arrival of two famous heads of the Indian Independence Movement, Satya Pal and Saifuddin Kitchlew, who had been previously captured by the public authority and moved to a mystery area. Both were defenders of the Satyagraha development driven by Gandhi.
2) Jallianwala Bagh slaughter was brought about by British General Dyer who needed to show Indians a thing or two and not to enjoy any type of fights against the British.
