  2. BRowlatt Satyagraha

  4. DDandi March

Explanation

The correct answer is A because the Non cooperation Movement was the first large scale mass movement that involved all sections of Indian society across the entire country. While the Rowlatt Satyagraha in 1919 was intended to be an all India protest, it remained largely restricted to cities and was suspended early. The Champaran Movement was a localized peasant struggle in Bihar, and the Dandi March occurred much later in 1930. Therefore, the Non cooperation Movement of 1920 to 1922 is officially recognized as Gandhi's first truly national or all India political venture.
