   I only. That drops the staged implementation.

2. B

   II only

   II only. That drops the Swaraj-by-peace objective.

3. C

   Both I and II

   Both I and II. The Congress objective was Swaraj by legitimate and peaceful means. The plan was stepwise: boycott first; civil disobedience and no-tax later, if a year passed without Swaraj and the government repressed.
