Explanation
The correct answer is C because the Dandi March, also known as the Salt Satyagraha, was the specific event that inaugurated the Civil Disobedience Movement. Mahatma Gandhi started the march from Sabarmati Ashram on March 12, 1930, and reached Dandi on April 6, 1930. By picking up a handful of salt and breaking the Salt Law, he formally launched the nationwide movement against British rule. The other movements listed occurred at different times: the Home Rule Movement began in 1916, the Non-Cooperation Movement in 1920, and the Quit India Movement in 1942.
