Ans: (a) In Yervada Jail
Explanation: Mahatma Gandhi was (a) in Yervada Jail when a raid was made by Congress Volunteers on Dharsana Salt Depot.
The Dharsana Salt Depot raid, also known as the Dharsana Satyagraha, took place on May 21, 1930, during the Salt Satyagraha campaign led by Mahatma Gandhi. As part of the civil disobedience movement against the British salt laws, a group of Congress volunteers marched towards the Dharsana Salt Depot in Gujarat to protest against the monopoly and taxation on salt.
During this time, Mahatma Gandhi was imprisoned in Yervada Jail in Pune, Maharashtra. Despite his physical absence, he provided guidance and leadership to the protesters from behind bars. The raid on the Dharsana Salt Depot was a significant act of civil disobedience and nonviolent resistance against British salt laws.
Therefore, the correct answer is (a) In Yervada Jail.
