Detailed Solution

The above statement is false. The Civil Disobedience Movement in India was initially supported by the business class.
The industrialists, led by businesspeople like Purshottamdas Thakurdas and G. D. Birla, fought against colonial control of the Indian economy and initially backed the Civil Disobedience Movement. They provided financial help and refused to purchase or sell imported items.
Most businesspeople began to view the swaraj era as one in which trade and industry would prosper free from colonial restraints. But following the Round Table Conference's failure, business organisations lost enthusiasm. They were concerned about the growth of militant activity, the potential for extended commercial disruption, and the increasing influence of socialism among the younger Congress members.
The correct statement would be business class supports the Civil Disobedience Movement.
