Solution

The correct option is D Creation of broader base for the national movement.
Gandhiji saw the Khilafat Movement as an opportunity for uniting the Hindus and the Muslims. The movement was launched by the Khilafat committee to oppose the harsh treaty which was going to be imposed on the spiritual leader of the Ottoman Empire in the Middle East. The movement was anti-British which provided Gandhi with a Pan-Indian platform for his national movement.
