Correct answer
D. The Delhi conference of the Central Khilafat Committee in 1920 decided to launch a massive Non Cooperation Mov
Step-by-step solution
The Khilafat movement (1919-22) was a pan-Islamic, political protest campaign launched by Muslims in British India to influence the British government. The movement became the reason for separation from mainland India of an Islamic Pakistan, in the process unleashing tremendous separation-trauma, mainly upon ethnic Punjabis. The movement was a topic in Conference of London (February 1920); however, Arabs saw it as threat of continuation of Turkish dominance of Arab lands.
