The correct answer for the question is option 1: protest against the Rowlatt Act.

The Rowlatt Act was a repressive law passed by the British government in 1919, giving extensive powers to the authorities to arrest and detain Indians without trial. It also curtailed civil liberties and violated the fundamental rights of the Indian people.

The protest against the Rowlatt Act was a significant event in India`s freedom struggle. It marked a turning point and led to the first `All India Hartal.` A hartal refers to a general strike or shutdown of businesses and public life as a protest against government actions or policies.

The protest against the Rowlatt Act was a united effort by Indians from all walks of life. It included mass demonstrations, strikes, and civil disobedience. The entire nation observed the hartal on 6th April 1919, in response to Mahatma Gandhi`s call for non-violent resistance against the Rowlatt Act.

The protest against the Rowlatt Act was a pivotal moment in India`s fight for independence. It showcased the unity and strength of the Indian people in their opposition to British colonial rule. The success of the hartal paved the way for future protests and movements in the struggle for freedom.
