Correct option is A

The correct answer is: (A). 1920
Explanation:

The Non-Cooperation Movement and Khilafat Movement both began in 1920 as part of India's struggle for independence. The Non-Cooperation Movement, led by Mahatma Gandhi, was launched in response to the Jallianwala Bagh massacre (1919) and the Rowlatt Act (1919), while the Khilafat Movement was led by Ali Brothers (Shaukat Ali and Mohammad Ali) to protest the British treatment of the Ottoman Caliphate after World War I.

Information Booster:
  • The movement aimed at boycotting British goods, institutions, and services to weaken British rule.
  • It was withdrawn in 1922 after the Chauri Chaura incident, where a violent mob burned a police station, killing 22 policemen.
  • The Khilafat Movement lost momentum after 1924, when the Caliphate was abolished in Turkey.
Additional Information:
  • 1931 Gandhi-Irwin Pact was signed, and the Second Round Table Conference was held.
  • 1928  – Simon Commission protests and the Nehru Report were introduced.
  • 1946 – The Royal Indian Navy Mutiny and Cabinet Mission Plan were initiated before India’s independence.
