Answer: D
Notes:

Explanation: The moderate political activity involved constitutional agitation within the confines of law and showed slow but orderly political progress.

  • The Moderates believed that the British basically wanted to be just to the Indians but were not aware of the real conditions.
  • Therefore, if public opinion could be created in the country and public demands be presented to the government through resolutions, petitions, meetings, etc., the authorities would concede these demands gradually.
