Explanation:

All the statements are correct.

The Quit India Movement was a mass protest initiated by Gandhi on August 8, 1942, at the Bombay session of the All-India Congress Committee. Gandhi, at Gowalia Tank Maidan, made a fervent appeal to the masses with his "Do or Die" speech, urging them to revolt against the British rule. The phrase “Do or Die” became the rallying point for Indians. Immediately after this call to action, the entire leadership of the INC was arrested without any trial by the British authorities to curb the movement from spreading further. Despite the arrests, the movement saw widespread participation and is remembered as a significant event that galvanized Indian people across regions and social strata against British rule.
