Model Answer

(C) Non-Cooperation Movement

The import of foreign cloth halved between 1921 and 1922, dropping from Rs 102 crore to Rs 57 crore, as a direct result of the foreign goods boycott during the Non-Cooperation Movement.

Source: The Movement in the Towns, Chapter 2

Explanation

The passage explicitly states this fall in cloth imports in the context of the Non-Cooperation Movement (1920–22), where foreign goods were boycotted and foreign cloth was burnt. The Swadeshi Movement (1905) is a common distractor — be careful to link the specific years 1921–22 to the correct movement.
