What did returning government titles symbolise in the Non-Cooperation Movement?

Correct answer: Rejecting colonial honours

Government titles were honours granted by the colonial administration to recognise loyalty or service. Returning them was a peaceful political act that rejected colonial approval and questioned the moral authority of British rule. It also expressed national self-respect and willingness to withdraw cooperation. Therefore, option A is correct. The other options describe support for, or dependence on, the colonial system rather than resistance to it.
