If people became violent in the Non-Cooperation Movement what effect would it have on Gandhi’s strategy?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: The non-violent moral force would weaken
The governing concept is Gandhian non-violence, or ahimsa, as both a moral principle and a political strategy. If participants used violence, the movement would lose discipline and weaken its claim to moral superiority over colonial power. Option A is therefore correct. Violence would not automatically end British rule, abolish swadeshi, or make the Rowlatt Act popular, so B, C, and D are implausible distractors.
