The Bardoli Satyagraha was a campaign against the enhancement of land revenue, while the Eka Movement was a protest against excessive extraction of rents.
Bardoli Satyagraha was a struggle against the enhancement of land revenue. Eka Movement in Awadh was directed against high rents, illegal cesses, and oppressive extraction by landlords. So option C is correct. A is wrong because Congress support to Eka was not continuous in that sense; B is wrong on leadership/social base; D is wrong on location.
