A. the killing of Indian protesters at Amritsar

B. the fall of the Mughal Empire

C. the Sepoy Rebellion

D. the creation of the Indian National Congress and the All-India Muslim League

Answer:

A. the killing of Indian protesters at Amritsar

Explanation:

1919 The Amritsar Massacre occurred which led to killings of about 380 unarmed Indians, during a protest in Rowlatt protest in 13th of April of 1919.

It was reported that about 1,000 Muslims and Hindus went to Amritsar, India to protest the Rowlatt Act: an act that allowed protesters to be imprisoned for two years without a trial. When in actuality, the widespread of Indians protest was due to Britian's inability to fulfill their promise of giving India freedom after WWI.

At the end of the massacre, many Indian Nationalists such as Mohandas Gandhi seek for total freedom as against the partial freedom. This in turn, led to other Indian nationalists to seek and champion for India independence.
