Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
The correct answer is Option (1) → (A)-(IV), (B)-(III), (C)-(I), (D)-(II)
(A) Simon Commission — this matches (IV) Boycotted because no single Indian present. In 1928 there was an all-India campaign in opposition to the all-White Simon Commission, sent from England to enquire into conditions in the colony.
(B) First Round Table Conference — this matches (III) No pre-eminent Indian political leader present. The first meeting, held in London in November 1930, was without the pre-eminent political leader in India, which made it an exercise in futility.
(C) Rowlatt Act — this matches (I) Curtailed civil liberties of the people. The wartime censorship of the press and detention without trial were continued on the recommendation of the Rowlatt committee, and Gandhiji called for a countrywide campaign against the ‘Rowlatt Act’.
(D) Salt March — this matches (II) Launch of the Civil Disobedience Movement. In 1930 the Civil Disobedience Movement began with the Dandi March, in which Gandhiji walked from his ashram at Sabarmati towards the ocean and made a fistful of salt in defiance of the law.
NCERT (2026-27): “2. The Making and Unmaking of Non-cooperation … During the Great War of 1914-18, the British had instituted censorship of the press and permitted detention without trial. Now, on the recommendation of a committee chaired by Sir Sidney Rowlatt, these tough measures were continued. In response, Gandhiji called for a countrywide campaign against the ‘Rowlatt Act’.… 3. The Salt Satyagraha A Case Study … In 1928, however, he began to think of re-entering politics. That year there was an all-India campaign in opposition to the all-White Simon Commission, sent from England to enquire into conditions in the colony. Gandhiji did not himself participate in this movement, although he gave it his blessings, as he also did to a peasant satyagraha in Bardoli in the same year.… 3.2 Dialogues … To that end, the British government convened a series of ‘Round Table Conferences’ in London. The first meeting was held in November 1930, but without the pre-eminent political leader in India, thus rendering it an exercise in futility.…”
