How is economic nationalism visible in the boycott of foreign cloth?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: It challenged British trade and promoted indigenous production

Foreign cloth represented the commercial interests of British industry, so boycotting it reduced support for imported goods. At the same time, wearing and producing Indian cloth encouraged indigenous weavers and swadeshi enterprise. Options B, C and D either reverse this effect or deny the role of Indian producers.
