What idea formed the moral basis of the Non-Cooperation Movement?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: It is right to withdraw cooperation from unjust rule
Gandhian non-cooperation rested on the principle that an unjust government survives only when people obey, serve and support it. If citizens peacefully withdrew that cooperation—for example, by returning titles, leaving official institutions and rejecting foreign goods—the moral and practical authority of colonial rule would weaken. This was a form of disciplined, non-violent resistance, not violent revolt. Therefore option A states the central moral idea; B, C and D contradict it.
