A Correct answer
Explanation

The Congress supported the Khilafat Movement primarily to secure Muslim sympathy against British rule (point 3) and to position the Congress as a defender of the Caliphate's reinstatement (point 1). This was part of the Hindu-Muslim unity strategy during the Non-Cooperation Movement. Points 2 and 4 are historically inaccurate - the Congress never sought the Caliph's removal nor aimed to marginalize Jinnah at this time.
