Explanation:

The merchants' and industrialists' enthusiasm decreased towards the later stages of the CDM for the following reasons:

• When the Civil Disobedience Movement was first formed, industrialists fought British control over the Indian economy and backed it. They helped financially while refusing to buy or sell imported items.
• Most businesspeople viewed swaraj as a time when colonial restraints on trade would be lifted, allowing trade and industry to grow without limitation.
• However, with the loss of the Round Table Conference, corporate groups were no longer unanimous in their support. vii They were concerned about the development of militant actions and the potential for long-term commercial disruption, as well as the growing influence of socialism among Congress's younger members.
