Which of the following events was the last in chronological order?Select the correct answer from the code given below:

A Home Rule Movement
B Khilafat Movement
C Jallianwala Bagh Massacre
D Moplah Revolt

Correct answer: (d) Moplah Revolt

Explanation

  1. A

    Home Rule Movement

    Option (a) claims the Home Rule Movement was the last event. It occurred in 1916, which is earlier than several other nationalist struggles listed here, making it incorrect.

  2. B

    Khilafat Movement

    Option (b) claims the Khilafat Movement was the last event. It began in 1919 alongside the Non-Cooperation Movement, but it is still chronologically prior to the major agrarian uprising of 1921.

  3. C

    Jallianwala Bagh Massacre

    Option (c) claims the Jallianwala Bagh Massacre was the last event. It took place on April 13, 1919, which precedes both the Khilafat agitation and the late 1921 Malabar rebellion.

  4. D

    Moplah Revolt

    Option (d) claims the Moplah Revolt was the last event in chronological order among the choices provided. Because this peasant uprising erupted in Malabar in August 1921, succeeding the Home Rule League of 1916 and the 1919 disturbances, this option correctly identifies the final event.

Summary. Official key is (d) Moplah Revolt. The Home Rule Movement started in 1916 under leaders like Tilak and Besant. The Jallianwala Bagh Massacre and the Khilafat Movement both unfolded in 1919. In contrast, the Moplah Revolt broke out in August 1921 in the Malabar region of Kerala. Therefore, chronological evaluation proves the Moplah uprising occurred last.
