Assertion (A): The Khilafat movement did bring the urban Muslims into the fold of the National Movement. Reason (R): There was a predominant element of anti-imperialism in both the National and Khilafat Movements.

1. The question presents an Assertion (A) and a Reason (R) about the Khilafat movement and the National Movement. 2. Assertion (A): States that the Khilafat movement brought urban Muslims into the fold of the National Movement. This is true. The Khilafat issue mobilized large sections of the Muslim population, particularly in urban areas, and their alliance with the Congress-led Non-Cooperation Movement integrated them significantly into the broader anti-colonial struggle. 3. Reason (R): States there was a predominant element of anti-imperialism in both the National and Khilafat Movements. This is also true. The National Movement was fundamentally anti-imperialist (against British rule). The Khilafat movement, while focused on the Caliphate issue, targeted Britain for its policies towards the Ottoman Empire, thus sharing a strong anti-British imperialist sentiment. 4. Connection: The shared anti-imperialism (R) provided the common ground and ideological basis for the convergence of the Khilafat and National Movements, facilitating the inclusion of urban Muslims in the national struggle (A). 5. Therefore, both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A. 6. This corresponds to option (A).
