Answer 1

The correct answer is option c) Dandi March.

What is Dandi March:

• In March–April 1930, Mohandas (Mahatma) Gandhi led a significant nonviolent protest in India known as the Salt March, also known as the Dandi March or the Salt Satyagraha.

• The march was the first in a series of large-scale acts of civil disobedience. Gandhi's (satyagraha) against British authority in India, lasted from early 1931 and garnered Gandhi tremendous support among the Indian people as well as international recognition.

• Salt production and distribution have long been an important British occupation in India. Indians were prohibited from producing or selling salt on their own due to a series of restrictions and instead were forced to purchase expensive, highly taxable salt that was frequently imported.
