Ans: (a) Break the salt laws
Explanation: The Dandi March, also known as the Salt March, was organized by Gandhiji to option (a) break the salt laws. The Dandi March took place in 1930 as a part of the Civil Disobedience Movement against British colonial rule. It involved a 240-mile march from Sabarmati Ashram in Ahmedabad to the coastal village of Dandi in Gujarat, where Gandhiji and his followers collectively violated the salt laws by making salt from seawater. The purpose of the march was to challenge the British monopoly on salt production and to symbolize the defiance of unjust laws imposed by the British government. The Dandi March played a significant role in mobilizing and inspiring the Indian masses in the struggle for independence.
