Correct option is C
The correct answer is (c)
(a) Under Non-Cooperation, Gandhiji urged the people not to cooperate with unjust evil system.
TRUE. This is the fundamental principle of the Non-Cooperation Movement (1920-22). Gandhi urged Indians to withdraw cooperation from the British government, which he considered unjust.
(b) By describing the British Indian administrative system as an evil, Gandhiji removed the spell of fear of the 'Terror of Law'.
TRUE. Gandhi challenged the moral authority of British law and administration by calling it an "evil system." This helped remove the psychological fear and awe that colonial laws had instilled in Indians. By reframing British rule as morally illegitimate, he emboldened people to resist.
(c) Under Non-Cooperation Gandhiji urged the people to break criminal laws.
FALSE. This is a crucial distinction. The Non-Cooperation Movement was based on non-violent non-cooperation, not breaking criminal laws. Gandhi urged people to:
Boycott British institutions (courts, schools, legislatures)
Surrender titles and honors
Boycott foreign cloth
He did NOT urge breaking criminal laws during Non-Cooperation. In fact, when violence broke out at Chauri Chaura in 1922, Gandhi called off the movement. Civil Disobedience (breaking laws like the salt law) came later in 1930.
(d) Gandhiji termed prisons as 'His Majesty's Hotels'.
FALSE in the context of the Non-Cooperation Movement. While Gandhi did use this phrase, it was associated with his South African struggle, not specifically with the Non-Cooperation Movement in India.
