Which of the following represents the main phases of the Quit India Movement ? 1. Strikes, boycotts, and picketing in urban centres 2. Widespread attacks in rural areas on the many symbols and means of colonial rule and authority, e.g. railways, telegraph lines, and Government buildings 3. Formation of Home Rule leagues 4. The ‘Karnataka method’ Select the correct answer using the code given below :

The Quit India Movement (1942) unfolded in distinct phases. The first phase was characterized by urban revolts involving strikes, boycotts, and picketing, where workers halted factory production in support of the movement. The second phase shifted focus to rural areas, marked by widespread peasant rebellions and attacks on colonial symbols such as railways, telegraph lines, and government buildings. The 'Karnataka method' refers to the specific underground and sabotage tactics employed in the region during the movement's later stages, where activists engaged in aggressive resistance despite severe repression. In contrast, the Home Rule Leagues were established much earlier, around 1915-1916, by Annie Besant and Bal Gangadhar Tilak, and were not a phase of the 1942 movement. Therefore, statements 1, 2, and 4 correctly represent the main phases and methods of the Quit India Movement.
