The direct answer is D, the Quit India Movement. The slogan “Quit India” was closely connected with the mass movement launched in 1942 under the leadership of Mahatma Gandhi and the Indian National Congress. Its central demand was that British rule should end and the British should leave India. Step by step: first, the Second World War created political tension; second, Indian leaders demanded freedom; third, the August 1942 movement spread among ordinary people; and fourth, “Do or Die” and the demand for the British to quit became powerful public slogans. Option A, the Swadeshi Movement, began mainly as a protest against the 1905 Partition of Bengal and encouraged Indian goods, not the 1942 slogan. Option B, the Champaran Satyagraha, began in 1917 for indigo cultivators and had a local agrarian focus. Option C, the Tebhaga Movement, was a later peasant movement in Bengal demanding a larger share of crops. Option D is correct because this was the movement whose name and demand directly expressed “Quit India.” Memory cue: Quit India equals August 1942 and the demand for British withdrawal.
