Explanation
The correct answer is C because the Civil Disobedience Movement officially began with the historic Dandi March which commenced from Sabarmati Ashram on March 12 1930. Mahatma Gandhi along with 78 chosen followers marched from Sabarmati in Ahmedabad toward the coastal village of Dandi. The movement was inaugurated at Sabarmati but reached its peak when Gandhi reached Dandi on April 6 1930 to formally break the salt law. Therefore the starting point of the movement was Sabarmati.
