The correct answer is option 3, i.e., 1 and 2 only.

Explanation:

- Option 1 states that the Salt Satyagraha witnessed the violation of salt laws along coastal India. This statement is correct. The Salt Satyagraha, also known as the Salt March or Dandi March, was a movement led by Mahatma Gandhi in 1930 against the British salt monopoly. As part of the movement, Gandhi and his followers marched to the coastal village of Dandi and illegally produced salt by evaporating seawater.

- Option 2 states that the participation of women was seen in the Salt Satyagraha. This statement is correct. The Salt Satyagraha was a significant movement that saw the active participation of women. Women not only participated in the march but also played essential roles in organizing and mobilizing support for the movement.

- Option 3 states that there was an upward swing in the working class joining the Salt Satyagraha. However, this statement is incorrect. The participation in the Salt Satyagraha was not limited to the working class; it included people from various backgrounds, including the middle class and even some members of the upper class.

Therefore, the correct answer is option 3,
