Detailed Solution

The above statement is True.
The business class in India first supported the civil disobedience movement. This is because industrialists and merchants in India became rich during World War I. They want to expand their business and want protection from foreign industries. Many prominent industrialists, such as Purshottamdas Thakurdas and G. D. Birla, criticised the colonial government for controlling the Indian economy and preventing its development. They provide financial support during the move and refuse to buy and sell imported goods. Many industrialists began to see swaraj as the time when colonial restrictions on business would end. Eventually, however, they began to recognize the growing influence of socialism among younger members of Congress.
