Explanation

The correct answer is B, the Lahore Session of 1929. This historic session was presided over by Jawaharlal Nehru. During this meeting, the Indian National Congress passed the Purna Swaraj or Complete Independence resolution. As part of this resolution, the Congress Working Committee was authorized to launch a programme of Civil Disobedience, including the non-payment of taxes. This authorization eventually led to the Dandi March and the Civil Disobedience Movement led by Mahatma Gandhi in 1930.
