Solution
The question is asking which of the given options was NOT a reason for the split in the Congress between the Early Nationalists and Assertive Nationalists.
(a) Extension of Swadeshi and Boycott to the whole country - This was indeed a point of contention. The Assertive Nationalists wanted to extend the Swadeshi and Boycott movements to the entire country, while the Early Nationalists were more moderate and did not support this.
(b) Open support to boycott of foreign goods - This was also a point of disagreement. The Assertive Nationalists openly supported the boycott of foreign goods, while the Early Nationalists did not.
(c) Candidature for Congress Presidentship - This was another issue. The Assertive Nationalists wanted to have their own candidate for the Congress Presidentship, which the Early Nationalists did not agree with.
(d) Indianisation of Civil Services - This was NOT a point of disagreement between the Early Nationalists and Assertive Nationalists. Both groups agreed on the need for Indianisation of the Civil Services. Therefore, option (d) is the correct answer.
