The correct answer is option 3, Civil Disobedience Movement.

Let`s examine each option to understand why it is correct or incorrect:

Option 1: Home Rule Movement

The Home Rule Movement was initiated in 1916 by Annie Besant and Bal Gangadhar Tilak. It aimed to demand self-government within the British Empire for India. The Dandi March, however, took place in 1930, which is many years after the Home Rule Movement. Therefore, option 1 is incorrect.

Option 2: Non-Cooperation Movement

The Non-Cooperation Movement was launched by Mahatma Gandhi in 1920. It sought to resist British rule through non-cooperation with government institutions and the boycotting of British goods. The Dandi March is not directly related to the Non-Cooperation Movement, making option 2 incorrect.

Option 3: Civil Disobedience Movement

The Dandi March, also known as the Salt March, was a significant event during the Civil Disobedience Movement initiated by Mahatma Gandhi in 1930. It aimed to protest against the British monopoly on salt production and the salt tax. Therefore, option 3 is the correct answer.

Option 4: Quit India Movement
