Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: B
Explanation

The correct chronological order of the major Gandhian mass movements is the Non-Cooperation Movement, followed by the Civil Disobedience Movement, and finally the Quit India Movement. The Non-Cooperation Movement was launched in August 1920 to protest British rule and the Jallianwala Bagh massacre, continuing until its suspension in 1922 [c1][t2]. The Civil Disobedience Movement began in March 1930 with the historic Dandi March led by Mahatma Gandhi to break the salt laws [c1][c4]. Lastly, the Quit India Movement was initiated in August 1942 following the 'Quit India' resolution passed at the Gowalia Tank meeting in Bombay, demanding an immediate end to British rule [c1][c3]. This sequence (1920, 1930, 1942) represents the escalating phases of the Indian national struggle for independence [t1][t6].
