Explanation:

Correct Answer: B [Boycott of American goods by Chinese]

The Chinese Boycott of 1905 was a large-scale boycott of American goods in China that began on 10 May 1905 in reaction to a string of anti-Chinese events in the United States. This included violence against Chinese immigrants, such as the quarantines of Chinatown during the San Francisco plague of 1900–1904 and the Boston Chinatown immigration raid in 1903, as well as discriminatory laws put in place. Telegrams were sent by Tseng Shao-Ching, leader of the Shanghai Chamber of Commerce to merchants to boycott American products. The boycott extended itself not only within China but also to other countries like the Philippines, Singapore, India, Japan and Hawaii.

So India used this boycott in their swadeshi movement against Britishers.
