Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: C
Explanation

The Dandi (Salt) March led by Mahatma Gandhi in March–April 1930 is explicitly described in contemporary sources as the event that initiated the Civil Disobedience Movement. The march began on 12 March 1930 from Sabarmati Ashram and culminated at Dandi where Gandhi ceremonially broke the salt laws; this action is repeatedly identified as the start of the Second Civil Disobedience Movement and the broader Salt Satyagraha campaign against British salt taxation and monopoly [2]. The Non-Cooperation Movement (1920–22), Home Rule Movement (1916 era), and Quit India Movement (1942) are separate phases of the Indian national movement and did not begin with the Dandi March.
