Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is option 3 i.e. 1915.
Mahatma Gandhi founded the Satyagraha Ashram in 1915.
He established it on May 25, 1915, about six months after his return to India from South Africa. It was initially located at Kochrab, a village near Ahmedabad. The name "Satyagraha Ashram" reflected his philosophy of nonviolent resistance (Satyagraha). In July 1917, the ashram was relocated to its present and larger site on the banks of the Sabarmati River, where it became widely known as Sabarmati Ashram. This ashram served as a vital center for Gandhi's experiments with truth and non-violence, and it played a pivotal role in India's freedom struggle, including being the starting point for the historic Dandi March in 1930.
