What was the ideological connection between the Rowlatt Act and the Non-Cooperation Movement?

Correct answer: The idea of withdrawing cooperation from repressive rule became stronger

The governing idea was that an unjust government could be challenged by refusing to support its institutions and authority. The Rowlatt Act allowed detention without ordinary judicial safeguards, revealing the repressive nature of colonial rule. Gandhi’s response linked opposition to such injustice with non-cooperation. Therefore A gives the ideological connection. B and C support colonial rule, while D wrongly reduces a political struggle to trade.
