Ans-[B] 
Explanation- The Kheda peasant struggle is also known as no-tax peasant struggle. It was a satyagraha launched in March 1919 under the leadership of Gandhiji, Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel, Indulal Yajnik, N.M. Joshi, Shankerlal Pareekh and several others.
It was again an experiment, quite like that of Champaran, made on non-violence. It was also par­ticipated by intelligentsia. Incidentally, the movement provided an opportunity to the educated public workers to establish contact with the actual life of the peasantry. The educated workers learnt to identify themselves with the peasantry and made themselves available for sacrifices.
