Why did the Rowlatt Satyagraha indicate Gandhi’s shift from local movements to a national movement?

Correct answer: Because it organised countrywide protest against the Rowlatt Act

The governing concept is the expansion of political action from a local grievance to an all-India campaign. Gandhi had earlier led movements in places such as Champaran, Kheda, and Ahmedabad. The Rowlatt Satyagraha, however, called people in many regions to oppose one repressive law through coordinated protest, hartals, and non-violent action. Option A is correct; the other choices deny its national reach or exaggerate its immediate result.
