What opportunity did the First World War create for Gandhi's leadership in Indian politics?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: An opportunity to connect economic hardship and political discontent with satyagraha

Option A is correct. The war did not aim to strengthen unopposed British rule, dissolve Congress, or establish permanent military government.
