The correct answer is:

Holding hunger strikes, staging peaceful protests, and destroying public property.

British suffragettes believed in "deeds, not words". They would heckle political acts, attempted to storm parliament, endured battles with the police, chained themselves to railings, broke windows, set fire to post boxes and abandoned buildings and placed bombs to damage churches and property. While incarcerated they went on hunger strike, having the government force-feeding them.
