Explanation

The Civil Disobedience Movement (1930) featured several incidents that alarmed the British. The Chittagong armoury raid (April 1930), led by Surya Sen, involved a guerrilla-style attack on government communications and armouries, directly challenging colonial authority [5]. In Peshawar, the refusal of the Garhwal Rifles to fire on unarmed Khudai Khidmatgar demonstrators was particularly alarming as it signaled potential disloyalty within the Indian army [4]. Sholapur witnessed a fierce response where textile workers attacked symbols of British power like police stations and law courts, leading to the establishment of a parallel administration [4]. However, statement 4 is incorrect; while Muslim participation was significant in the NWFP under Khan Abdul Ghaffar Khan [2], overall Muslim participation in the movement across other provinces remained low compared to the Non-Cooperation Movement due to communal tensions and divisive issues [3].
