Ans: (a) Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel
Explanation: The correct answer is (a) Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel. The leader of the Bardoli Satyagraha in 1928 was Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel. Bardoli Satyagraha was a significant non-violent resistance movement led by Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel in the Bardoli taluka of Gujarat, India. It was organized against the oppressive policies of the British colonial government, specifically the increase in land revenue. Under Patel’s leadership, the peasants in Bardoli united and refused to pay the increased taxes. The movement was successful, and the British eventually had to roll back their policies and restore the original land revenue rates. Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel’s leadership and organizing skills played a crucial role in the success of the Bardoli Satyagraha.
