(d) Gandhi went to talk with Viceroy Lord Irwin.
Ans: (c) Gandhi withdrew his movement of non-cooperation.
Explanation: After the Chauri-Chaura incident, in which 22 policemen were killed, (c) Gandhi withdrew his movement of non-cooperation. The Chauri-Chaura incident, which occurred on February 5, 1922, during a protest march as part of the non-cooperation movement, turned violent and resulted in the deaths of the policemen. The incident deeply shocked and saddened Mahatma Gandhi. Recognizing the danger of the movement turning violent, he took the decision to withdraw the non-cooperation movement as a means of protest against British rule. Gandhi believed in the principle of non-violence and felt that the movement had lost its non-violent character with the tragic events of Chauri-Chaura. Consequently, he called off the movement and urged people to refrain from any violent activities.
