Explanation: āœ… Correct Answer: (B) Salt Law šŸ“š Explanation: The Dandi March (also known as the Salt Satyagraha) began on March 12, 1930. Mahatma Gandhi and 78 followers walked from Sabarmati Ashram to the coastal village of Dandi to protest the British monopoly on salt production.

This was one of the most significant non-violent protests against British rule.
