Not attemptedCorrect Answer: (c) Impose censorship on national press.
At the outset of the Swadeshi movement (1905–08) nationalist leaders across regions championed the boycott of foreign goods: Bal Gangadhar Tilak led agitation in Maharashtra, Lala Lajpat Rai in Punjab, and abroad Shyamji Krishna Varma propagated Swadeshi through the Indian Home Rule Society and *The Indian Sociologist* in London. Thus all three figures were associated with the movement’s beginning. ([en.wikipedia.org](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bal_Gangadhar_Tilak?utm_source=openai))
