Which one among the following statements about Civil Disobedience Movement is correct?

The Civil Disobedience Movement (CDM) was initiated by Mahatma Gandhi with the Dandi March in March 1930 to break the salt law, not the Champaran Satyagraha of 1917 [3]. The British government responded with 'sternest repression' and 'brutal' policies, including mass arrests and ordinances, rather than being soft [4]. While the movement was fundamentally non-violent, violent incidents did occur, such as the armed tribal struggle ending in 1924 and clashes involving textile workers in Sholapur [2]. The movement was suspended following the Gandhi-Irwin Pact in March 1931, where the Congress agreed to discontinue the Civil Disobedience Movement in exchange for the release of political prisoners and the right to participate in the Second Round Table Conference [4]. This agreement marked a temporary truce in the nationalist struggle.
