Show answer and solution

Answer: (C) 1919

The massacre occurred on 13 April 1919, the day of Baisakhi, when troops fired on a peaceful gathering protesting the Rowlatt Act and the arrest of local leaders. It preceded the Non-Cooperation Movement of 1920 and the Chauri Chaura incident of 1922, so those years are later events and are not correct.
