Explanation:

- Option 1: Mohammad Ali Jinnah

Jinnah was not involved in the Khilafat agitation. He actually opposed mixing religion with politics and was not supportive of the Khilafat movement.

- Option 2: Maulana Abul Kalam Azad

Azad supported the Khilafat movement and was a nationalist leader, but he was not the primary force convincing Gandhi to launch the Non-Cooperation Movement in support of Khilafat.

- Option 3: Abdul Ghaffar Khan

Abdul Ghaffar Khan was active in the freedom struggle, but his primary activism came slightly later and was focused in the North-West Frontier Province.

- Option 4: Shaukat Ali

Correct Answer. Shaukat Ali, along with his brother Mohammad Ali, was a key leader of the Khilafat movement. He played a crucial role in persuading Gandhi to support Khilafat and begin the Non-Cooperation Movement.
