{'civil disobedience movement': [5, 1, 3, 6], 'gandhi': [7, 2, 0, 4], 'gandhiji': [12, 0, 0, 5], 'movement': [9, 3, 7, 28], 'march': [10, 2, 7, 13], 'violence': [4, 1, 3, 7], 'irwin agreement congress': [0, 0, 0, 1]}

Option 1: This statement is incorrect. The Civil Disobedience Movement did not start with Gandhiji`s march to Champaran. The Civil Disobedience Movement began much later, in 1930.

Option 2: This statement is correct. Under the Gandhi-Irwin agreement, the Congress agreed to suspend the Civil Disobedience Movement in exchange for certain concessions from the British government. This agreement was signed in 1931.

Option 3: This statement is incorrect. The British government was not soft towards the Civil Disobedience Movement from the beginning. In fact, they arrested many leaders and cracked down on the movement. The movement faced repression and resistance from the British government.

Option 4: This statement is incorrect. There was some degree of violence during the Civil Disobedience Movement. While the movement was largely based on nonviolent resistance, there were instances of clashes between protestors and the police, as well as acts of sabotage.

In conclusion, the correct statement about the Civil Disobedience Movement is option 2, where the Congress agreed to give up the movement under the Gandhi-Irwin agreement.
