Not attemptedCorrect Answer: (c) The Rowlatt Act
The Anarchical & Revolutionary Crimes Act, 1919—popularly called the Rowlatt Act—allowed detention without trial, sparking nationwide anger. Mass protests against this Act in Punjab led to the brutal firing on 13 April 1919 at Jallianwala Bagh, Amritsar. Hence the Rowlatt Act was the immediate trigger.
