Correct answer: B. It was a non-violent movement

- B. It was a non-violent movement
- C. It was a spontaneous movement

The Quit India Movement was launched under Gandhi’s leadership with a non-violent programme, but mass arrests produced widespread spontaneous protests and some violent incidents. Thus, describing it simply as wholly non-violent is the least accurate observation.
