Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: A
Explanation

The Indian Freedom Struggle is marked by several pivotal events with distinct timelines. The Surat Split occurred earliest in 1907 during the Surat session of the Indian National Congress, where the party divided into Moderates and Extremists [t2][t3][t6]. Following this, the Lucknow Pact was signed in 1916, representing an agreement between the Congress and the Muslim League to present joint constitutional demands [c3][c5][t2]. The Rowlatt Satyagraha was launched by Mahatma Gandhi in early 1919 as a protest against the repressive Rowlatt Act [c3][t3][t4]. Finally, the Communal Award was announced much later, in August 1932, by British Prime Minister Ramsay MacDonald, introducing separate electorates for various minority groups and depressed classes [c1][t2][t7]. Therefore, the Surat Split (1907) is the earliest event among the given options.
