Answer: (A) Non-cooperation movement
The Non-Cooperation Movement (1920-22) was Gandhi's first genuinely nationwide mass movement, drawing in millions of Indians across regions and classes. His earlier interventions like the Champaran Satyagraha (1917, related to indigo cultivation) were significant but localised, not pan-India mass movements.
