Ans: (a) Dandi March
Explanation: In the freedom movement of India, the year 1930 is associated with the (a) Dandi March. The Dandi March, also known as the Salt Satyagraha, was a significant event in the Indian independence movement led by Mahatma Gandhi. It began on March 12, 1930, when Gandhi and a group of followers marched from Sabarmati Ashram in Ahmedabad to the coastal village of Dandi in Gujarat. The purpose of the march was to protest against the British salt tax and the monopoly on salt production. Gandhi and the marchers defied the salt laws by producing salt from seawater at the Dandi beach, symbolizing the defiance of unjust British laws. The Dandi March had a profound impact on the Indian independence movement, inspiring widespread civil disobedience and mass participation across the country.
