Result
Your answer: —  ·  Correct: D
Explanation

The Dandi March, which took place from March 12 to April 6, 1930, was a landmark event in the Indian freedom struggle [3]. It was the first nationalist activity to see large-scale participation by women [4]. Initially, Mahatma Gandhi had not planned to include women, but he was persuaded to do so by the socialist activist Kamaladevi Chattopadhyay [3]. The march received extensive coverage from the Western press, particularly the American and European media, which brought Gandhi to global attention [2]. However, the statement that the march began after the failure of the First Round Table Conference is incorrect. The Dandi March occurred in early 1930, whereas the First Round Table Conference was held later that year, from November 1930 to January 1931 [3]. The march actually preceded the conference and was a catalyst for the subsequent Gandhi-Irwin Pact in 1931 [3].
