Answer:
Correct Answer: B
Solution:
- Exp. [b] Moderates believed in the policy of settlement of minor issue with the government by deliberations. But the extremists believed in agitation, strikes and boycotts to force their demands. Some nationalists led by Lokmanya Tilak agitated against the moderate behaviour of Congress against British rule. This led to a split in the Congress in 1907 which is known as Surat split of 1907.
