Explanation

The examiner wants a clear contrast: Non-Cooperation = passive withdrawal/boycott; Civil Disobedience = active law-breaking. The passage hints at this by stating that civil disobedience was to be launched only after non-cooperation, as an escalation. Remember this distinction for MCQs and short answers alike.
