Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: A
Explanation

The Civil Disobedience Movement (1930-34) saw a massive response from business groups and the peasantry, which compensated for the decline in other areas compared to the Non-Cooperation Movement. Rich peasant communities like the Patidars and Jats were active due to the trade depression and falling revenue demands. However, unlike the Non-Cooperation Movement, there was no major large-scale labour upsurge that coincided with this movement. While students and youth played a prominent role in boycotting foreign goods [2], the participation of lawyers and the urban intelligentsia was significantly lower than in 1920-22, as the movement's focus shifted toward mass rural and commercial defiance. Therefore, only the first statement regarding the response from business groups and peasantry is historically accurate in the context of this specific phase of the nationalist struggle.
