Gandhiji opposed the Communal Award because he believed that it would lead to division in the Hindu society. The Communal Award, introduced in 1932, was a provision that granted separate electorates for different religious communities in India. This would have further segregated communities based on their religion, which Gandhi strongly disagreed with.

Gandhiji believed in the principle of unity and inclusivity among all communities. He wanted India to be a nation where people from different religious backgrounds could live peacefully and harmoniously together. Dividing the Hindu society based on religion would have undermined this vision of a united India.

While the other options mentioned in the question are potential consequences of the Communal Award, the main reason behind Gandhi`s opposition was the division it would cause within the Hindu society.
