    A) 1 and 2 only     

    B) 2 and 3 only

    C) 1 and 4 only     

    D) 3 and 4 only

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    Mahatma Gandhi began leading the Indian National Movement from the Non-Cooperation Movement onwards whereas the    Congress clearly changed its stand towards princely states during   the Quit India Movement. Thus it can be said that Mahatma Gandhi's being resident of a princely state of Porbandar, was not the reason for this shift. Majority of the members of the Congress Ministries did not come from the Princely states, hence it was also not a reason.
