Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is option 3 i.e. 1917.

  • The Champaran Satyagraha of 1917 was the first Satyagraha movement led by Gandhi in India. 
  • It was a farmer's uprising that took place in the Champaran district of Bihar, India, during the British colonial period.
  • The Champaran Satyagraha gave direction to India's youth and freedom struggle, which was tottering between moderates who prescribed Indian participation within the British colonial system, and the extremists from Bengal who advocated the use of violent methods to topple the British colonialists in India.
