How did wartime inflation affect the national movement?

Correct answer: Anger against colonial rule increased among people

Wartime inflation raised the cost of essential goods and reduced the purchasing power of ordinary families. The hardship was felt by workers, peasants, and sections of the middle class, while colonial policies were seen as responsible for the burden. This increased resentment against British rule and helped create support for nationalist mobilisation. Hence option A is correct; the other choices reverse the historical effect.
