A Correct answer
Explanation

The Non-Cooperation Movement (1920-22) was withdrawn by Gandhi immediately after the Chauri-Chaura incident (1922) where protestors set fire to a police station killing 22 policemen. Gandhi felt the movement had turned violent and strayed from non-violent principles. The withdrawal shocked many leaders but demonstrated Gandhi's commitment to ahimsa (non-violence) as a core principle.
