Correct Answer: (b) Revolutionary movement
Solution:In June 1897, the Chapekar brothers attacked Rand, the president of the Plague Committee of Poona and killed Lieutenant Ayerst. It was alleged that the Brahmins of Poona, under the leadership of Tilak, had conspired in the murder of Rand and Ayerst. In July 1897, Tilak was arrested on charges of sedition under section 124-A of the Indian Penal Code. He was prosecuted and sentenced to 18 months imprisonment, which caused huge protests across the country. For this reason, Tilak became popular as an all India leader and the public gave him the title of 'Lokmanya.'
