Correct Answer:

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (2) → Mohammad Ali and Shaukat Ali

The Khilafat Movement in India was a political campaign launched by Indian Muslims in the early 20th century to protest against the disintegration of the Ottoman Empire and the abolition of the caliphate after World War I. The movement aimed to protect the Ottoman Caliph, who was considered the spiritual leader of the global Muslim community. The Ali brothers, Mohammad Ali and Shaukat Ali, played a significant role in leading the Khilafat Movement. They were prominent leaders of the All-India Khilafat Committee, which was formed in 1919 to coordinate efforts related to the Khilafat cause. The movement gained momentum and saw collaboration between the Khilafat leaders and the Indian National Congress, especially under the influence of Mahatma Gandhi.

So, the correct option is [2].
