What effect did the Jallianwala Bagh incident have on the national movement?

Correct answer: Distrust and anger toward British rule increased

The governing concept is the impact of state violence on nationalist consciousness. On 13 April 1919, troops under General Dyer fired on an unarmed gathering at Jallianwala Bagh, causing many deaths and injuries. The incident exposed the brutality of colonial rule and destroyed faith in its claims of justice. Option A is correct because anger and distrust intensified. The other options contradict the political consequences of the massacre.
