D) R is true, but A is false.
Correct Answer: C
Solution :
The early national movement was weak basically due to its narrow social base. It failed to reach to the masses and lacked their support. There were contradictions in the politics of the moderate leaders, which further alienated them from the greater masses. Most of the participants belonged to the propertied classes such as landlords, lawyers, traders, teachers and doctors, and thus, the movement lacked any touch with the masses.
