Why did the demand for non-cooperation become stronger after Jallianwala Bagh?

Correct answer: People saw the repressive nature of British rule more clearly

The Jallianwala Bagh massacre exposed the violent and repressive character of colonial rule. The killing of unarmed civilians destroyed much of the public faith in British justice and made constitutional cooperation appear ineffective. Consequently, refusing to support colonial institutions became a stronger political strategy. Option A is correct; the other options contradict the historical situation because freedom was not granted, prisoners were not universally released, and British rule was not seen as just.
