D??

Not sure

D is correct. 

The movement was strongly secular in nature. Concern with religion was seen as petty and narrow-minded, and unworthy of revolutionaries. Leaders belonging to, different religions and regions were accepted by the movement.Another marked feature of Ghadar ideology was its democratic and egalitarian content. It was clearly stated by the Ghadarites that their objective was the establishment of an independent republic of India.The Ghadar Movement also failed to generate an effective and sustained leadership that was capable ofintegrating the various aspects of the movement. Har Dayal himself was temperamentally totally unsuited to the role of an organizer; he was a propagandist, an inspirer, an ideologue.

@acquaintedeconomist99941 during inflation value of money decreases and availability is high, so it becomes easy for the borrower to pay back his loan. Creditors do get their interest but loses in money value.
