  1. A1 and 2
  2. B2 and 3
  3. C1 and 3Correct
  4. D1, 2 and 3

Explanation

The correct answer is C because of the following reasons: 1. Champaran Satyagraha 1917: Rajendra Prasad was one of the prominent leaders who accompanied Mahatma Gandhi to Bihar to investigate the conditions of indigo farmers. Thus, pair 1 is correct. 2. Ahmedabad Mill Strike 1918: This movement was led by Mahatma Gandhi along with Anusuya Sarabhai. Morarji Desai was not associated with this movement as he was a young student at that time and joined the independence movement much later. Thus, pair 2 is incorrect. 3. Kheda Satyagraha 1918: Vallabhbhai Patel played a crucial role as one of the main organizers of this movement, supporting the peasants against high land revenue demands. This was one of the earliest movements where Patel became a close follower of Gandhi. Thus, pair 3 is correct. Since pairs 1 and 3 are correct, the answer is C.
