Explanation
The correct answer is option 2 i.e. fundamental rights.
In 1919, Gandhiji called for a satyagraha against the Rowlatt Act that curbed civil liberties such as the freedom of expression, freedom of assembly, and freedom of the press. The act allowed the colonial government to imprison people without trial and take repressive actions against political dissent. Gandhiji’s call for satyagraha was aimed at peacefully protesting these unjust measures and challenging the British authorities' repressive rule, which led to widespread protests across India.
