Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: D
Explanation

The Non-Cooperation Movement (1920-1922) was launched by Mahatma Gandhi primarily to address three specific grievances: the 'Punjab wrongs' (Jallianwala Bagh massacre), the 'Khilafat issue' (treatment of Turkey), and the attainment of Swaraj [2]. Gandhi demanded that the British government express regret for the Jallianwala Bagh massacre and withdraw the repressive Rowlatt Act [2][t2]. Regarding the Khilafat movement, he insisted on a favorable treaty for Turkey and lenient treatment of the Caliph [2][t4]. However, Gandhi did not demand a 'better scheme of reforms' than the Government of India Act 1919 as a condition for settlement. In fact, the movement was a response to the inadequacy of those reforms, and Gandhi urged the boycott of the new councils rather than seeking their improvement through a better scheme [2][t2][t8].
