Explanation

The Non-Cooperation Movement (1920-22) led by Gandhi included: (I) Boycott of law-courts, foreign cloth, government schools and legislative councils — correct. (II) Observance of strict non-violence — correct, it was the cornerstone of Gandhi's programme and the movement was withdrawn after Chauri Chaura due to its violation. (III) Surrender/renunciation of titles and honours, NOT retention without public use — hence III is incorrect as the programme called for surrendering titles, not retaining them. (IV) Establishment of Panchayats for settling disputes — correct, as part of constructive programme to replace British courts. Hence three (I, II, IV) were parts of the programme.
