What is the simple meaning of swadeshi?

Correct answer: Use of goods made in one's own country

Swadeshi literally expresses preference for goods produced within one’s own country. In the national movement, it meant using indigenous products, supporting Indian producers, and reducing dependence on imported goods. It was closely connected with the boycott of foreign cloth. It did not mean promoting foreign goods, increasing taxes, or organising military recruitment, so A is correct.
