The correct response is:

The noncooperative elements of satyagraha negatively impacted British influence in India. The nonviolent elements created international support after violent responses from the British.

This response highlights how the noncooperation tactics used in satyagraha diminished British authority and control in India, while the nonviolent approach garnered international sympathy and support, especially in light of violent reprisals from the British authorities. This combination was pivotal in mobilizing both Indian resistance and global pressure against colonial rule, ultimately contributing to India's independence movement.
