Answer
Both (A) and (R) are true, and (R) is the correct explanation of (A)
Explanation — The Chauri Chaura incident in 1922, where a mob set a police station on fire killing 22 policemen, deeply disturbed Gandhiji. As a firm believer in non-violence (Ahimsa), he immediately called off the Non-Cooperation Movement, fearing it was drifting into violence.
