Which honour did Gandhiji return in protest of the Jallianwala Bagh massacre?

Correct option is C

The correct answer is (c) Kaiser-i-Hind.

In 1919, after the Jallianwala Bagh massacre in Amritsar, where hundreds of unarmed Indians were killed by British troops, Mahatma Gandhi returned the Kaiser-i-Hind medal that he had received from the British government in 1915. This act was a symbolic gesture of protest against British oppression and the brutal massacre. Gandhi's return of the medal was part of his broader movement against colonial rule and injustice.
