How should the relationship between the Rowlatt Act and the Jallianwala Bagh incident be understood?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Extreme colonial violence in response to protest against a repressive law
The Rowlatt Act extended extraordinary powers of detention and trial without normal safeguards, provoking widespread protest. In the tense atmosphere that followed, colonial authorities in Amritsar used extreme force against an unarmed gathering at Jallianwala Bagh on 13 April 1919. Thus option A correctly expresses the relationship: repression by law was followed by violent repression in practice. The other options concern unrelated or false outcomes.
