Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The Correct Answer is option 4 i.e. Mahatma Gandhi.
In 1930, the Salt Satyagraha was led by Mahatma Gandhi as a non-violent protest against the British monopoly on salt production and taxation. Starting with the historic Dandi March on March 12, Gandhi walked 240 miles from Sabarmati Ashram to Dandi on the Arabian Sea coast, where he symbolically made salt from seawater. This act sparked a nationwide civil disobedience movement and became a turning point in India’s struggle for independence. Gandhi’s leadership inspired millions to challenge British laws through peaceful means, marking a defining moment in the Indian freedom movement.

Subhas Chandra Bose: Focused on more radical approaches; not directly involved in Salt Satyagraha.
