▶ Answer & Explanation

Correct answer: C. Only three

The Non-Cooperation Programme, launched in 1920, included several key components aimed at paralyzing the British administration. The boycott of law courts, foreign cloth, and educational institutions were central. Adherence to strict non-violence was a fundamental principle, though instances of violence did occur. The establishment of national schools and private Panchayats for dispute resolution was also encouraged. However, the retention of titles and honours without public use was not a direct component of the program's agenda.
