Answer:

Option: D. British officials responded with repressive measures.

Explanation:  

During the war, the British declared to give self-government to Indians if they served in the WWI. After the war, Britain proposed as they were not willing to leave India. Gandhiji also supported the involvement of Indian soldiers in the British army. According to him, Britain would repay the courtesy by giving independence to India after the World War I. Instead of giving Independence to India after World War I, they continued colonial regime with tightened restrictions on liberties. Gandhi answered by gathering for strikes and civil disobedience movements.
