The correct answer is Option (3) → (A)-(III), (B)-(I), (C)-(IV), (D)-(II)
Each event of the freedom struggle is matched with its year.
(A) Jallianwala Bagh massacre — this matches (III) 1919. On 13 April 1919, General Dyer’s troops fired on an unarmed crowd gathered in the Bagh at Amritsar.
(B) The Government of India Act — this matches (I) 1935. With 1919 already taken by the massacre, this is the Act of 1935, which brought provincial autonomy and proposed an all-India federation.
(C) Dandi March — this matches (IV) 1930. Gandhiji marched from Sabarmati to Dandi between 12 March and 6 April 1930 to break the salt law, starting the Civil Disobedience Movement.
(D) Poona Pact — this matches (II) 1932. Signed by Gandhiji and B. R. Ambedkar in September 1932, it gave the depressed classes reserved seats in the general electorate in place of the separate electorates of the Communal Award.
