Result
Your answer:  ·  Correct: A
Explanation

The correct chronological matching for the events is as follows: The Rowlatt Act was passed in 1919, which allowed the British government to imprison individuals without trial, leading to widespread protests [5]. The Salt March, also known as the Dandi March, took place in 1930 (March–April) as a major nonviolent protest against the British salt monopoly, marking the start of the Civil Disobedience Movement [2]. The Chauri Chaura incident occurred on February 5, 1922, where a violent clash led Mahatma Gandhi to withdraw the Non-Cooperation Movement [4]. Finally, the Second Round Table Conference was held in 1931 in London, with Gandhi's participation following the Gandhi-Irwin Pact [2]. Therefore, the sequence A-4, B-3, C-1, D-2 corresponds to Option 1.
