Choose the correct answer :

The correct answer is (A) A, C, B, D, E

Explanation:
• The Rowlatt Act was passed in March 1919, allowing the government to imprison people without trial.
• On April 13, 1919 (Baisakhi day), a mass protest meeting was held at Jallianwala Bagh against the arrest of leaders Dr. Saifuddin Kitchlew and Dr. Satyapal.
• During this meeting, General Dyer entered the area and ordered troops to open fire on the unarmed crowd.
• Following the massacre, Martial Law was formally imposed in Amritsar and other parts of Punjab to suppress further unrest.
• Rabindranath Tagore renounced his Knighthood in May 1919 as a direct protest against the British brutality at Jallianwala Bagh.

Information Booster:
• The Hunter Commission was appointed to investigate the massacre.
• Udham Singh later assassinated Michael O'Dwyer in 1940 to avenge the massacre.
• Mahatma Gandhi gave up the Kaiser-i-Hind title in protest against the Jallianwala Bagh incident and the Khilafat wrong.

Additional Knowledge:
• Option (B, C, D) are incorrect because they misplace the legislative trigger (Rowlatt Act) or the immediate reaction (renunciation of titles) in the sequence.

So the correct answer is (a)
