Correct Answer:
D. To attain complete independence (Swaraj)
Explanation:
The Extremists, a radical wing of the Indian National Congress led by figures like Bal Gangadhar Tilak, Bipin Chandra Pal, and Lala Lajpat Rai, sought to shift the movement's focus from gradual reform to self-rule. Unlike the Moderates, who advocated for constitutional methods and petitions to the British authorities, the Extremists demanded Swaraj, or complete independence. They believed that freedom could only be achieved through more assertive tactics, including the boycott of foreign goods, the promotion of indigenous products (Swadeshi), and national education. Their primary goal was the total liberation of India from British colonial administration, making the attainment of Swaraj their central objective.
