Exam answer

(d) They wanted to launch violent agitations against the British.

Explanation

The Early Nationalists (Moderates) were the very opposite of violent. They had faith in British justice and worked strictly within the law — by prayers, petitions, memoranda and speeches — which is why their method was mocked as "political mendicancy". The other three statements are all true of them. Violent agitation belongs to the REVOLUTIONARIES, and direct action such as boycott and passive resistance to the ASSERTIVE Nationalists.

In words

They wanted to launch violent agitations against the British.
