Statement I: Mahatma Gandhi launched the Rowlatt Satyagraha as an all-India mass protest. This statement is true. Mahatma Gandhi led the Rowlatt Satyagraha in 1919 as a protest against the Rowlatt Act.

Statement II: Rowlatt Act was passed by the British Government in 1919 to authorize the government to imprison any person without trial. This statement is true. The Rowlatt Act was indeed passed by the British Government in 1919. It gave the government the power to arrest and detain individuals without trial for an indefinite period.

Both statements are individually true, and Statement II is the correct explanation of Statement I. The Rowlatt Satyagraha was launched by Mahatma Gandhi as a response to the Rowlatt Act. The Act was seen as repressive and authoritarian, allowing for the violation of civil liberties and basic human rights. Gandhi`s mass protest was aimed at challenging this unjust law and advocating for the protection of individual freedoms.

Therefore, option 1 is the correct answer as it accurately explains the relationship between the two statements.
