During this time, leaders like Mahatma Gandhi promoted Khadi as a symbol of Indian self-reliance and resistance to British colonial rule. Hence, (A)-(II) is correct.

(B) 1930: The 1930s saw the Adoption of Western Styles by Brahmo Samaj Ladies. The Brahmo Samaj was known for adopting more Western-style clothing as part of their modernization and reformist efforts, particularly among women. Hence, (B)-(III) is correct.
