The correct option is A.
The Home Rule movement (1916-1918) primarily focused on achieving self-government within the British Empire through constitutional means, public meetings, propaganda, and organisation. Tactics like boycott and picketing were more characteristic of the Swadeshi movement (1905-1908) and later, the Non-Cooperation movement (1920-1922). Boycott and picketing were not central features of the Home Rule movement’s methods.
The Home Rule movement saw the formation of two separate leagues: one led by Bal Gangadhar Tilak (primarily in Maharashtra, except Bombay city, Karnataka, Central Provinces, and Berar) and the other by Annie Besant (covering the rest of India). Both leagues aimed at raising political consciousness and demanding Home Rule. They actively used methods like public meetings, lectures, discussions, and extensive publication and distribution of pamphlets, newspapers, and books.
