B Correct answer
Explanation

The Congress policy of 'prayer and petition' (the moderate approach) ended under Bal Gangadhar Tilak's guidance. Tilak introduced the concept of Swaraj as a birthright, promoted passive resistance and boycott movements, and famously declared 'Swaraj is my birthright and I shall have it,' marking the shift from moderate to extremist politics.
