Correct Answer:

Chauri-Chaura episode

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option 2- Chauri-Chaura episode

Gandhi ji withdrew the Non-Cooperation Movement following the violent incident known as the Chauri Chaura incident. In February 1922, during a protest in the village of Chauri Chaura in the United Provinces (now Uttar Pradesh) of India, a group of protesters clashed with the police. The situation escalated, and the protesters set fire to a police station, resulting in the death of several policemen.

Upon hearing about the violence, Gandhi ji was deeply distressed and felt that the movement had lost its non-violent character. He believed that non-violence was the essence of the movement and could not be compromised. Consequently, Gandhi ji called off the Non-Cooperation Movement, as he felt it was not the right time to continue it amidst such violence.
