Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: C
Explanation

The Non-Cooperation Movement (1920-22) was characterized by a program of non-violent resistance and withdrawal of support from British institutions. The action program included the surrender of titles and honors [3], the boycott of government-affiliated schools, colleges, and law courts [3], and the boycott of foreign goods and legislative councils [3]. Structurally, the Nagpur Session of 1920 reorganized the Congress to reach the village and mohalla level to transform it into a mass movement [3]. However, the movement did not involve taking control of the state's law and order machinery. Instead, it emphasized peaceful and legitimate means to attain Swaraj [3]. The Congress Working Committee (CWC) was established to lead the movement, but its role was organizational and agitational, not administrative or executive in terms of state governance, which remained under British control until independence.
