Explanation: The correct answer is (b) Jawaharlal Nehru and Sarojini Naidu.
When Mahatma Gandhi embarked on the Dandi March, also known as the Salt March or Salt Satyagraha, in 1930, he was accompanied by several individuals, including Jawaharlal Nehru and Sarojini Naidu.
Jawaharlal Nehru, who later became the first Prime Minister of independent India, was a prominent leader of the Indian National Congress and a close associate of Mahatma Gandhi. He played a significant role in the freedom struggle and was actively involved in various movements and campaigns for independence.
Sarojini Naidu, often referred to as the Nightingale of India, was a distinguished poet, activist, and leader of the Indian National Congress. She was an ardent supporter of Mahatma Gandhi’s nonviolent methods and actively participated in the freedom struggle.
Both Jawaharlal Nehru and Sarojini Naidu were among the notable leaders who accompanied Mahatma Gandhi during the historic Dandi March, which was a powerful act of civil disobedience against the British colonial rule and a significant moment in the Indian freedom struggle.
