Hint: The Civil disobedience movement was started by Mohandas Karam chandra Gandhi on 12 March 1930 with his famous Dandi March.

Complete answer:
(A) The Dwarka temple is a Hindu temple dedicated to Lord Krishna in the state of Gujarat. It is also known as the Jagat Mandir and occasionally spelled as Dwarakadheesh temple.Lord Krishna is worshiped as the King of Dwarka.The Dwarkadhish temple is a pushtimarg temple hence it follows the guidelines and rituals created by Vallabhacharyar and Vitheleshnath.
(B) Together with 78 chosen followers, Gandhi walked nearly 375 km from Sabarmati Ashram to Dandi, a village on the Gujarat sea-coast. Day after day, newspapers reported his progress, his speeches and the impact on the people. Hundreds of Village officials on his route resigned their jobs. On 6 April , Gandhi reached Dandi , picked up a handful of salt and broke the salt law as a symbol of the Indian people’s refusal to live under British- made laws and therefore under British rule.
(C) The grand simplicity of Rashtrapati Bhavan’s Durbar Hall is enthralling as it is indisputably the most regal room of the presidential palace. Robert Byron, the famous historian and art critic has rightly said, “Nowhere did Lutyens slip from the high standard of design…he set himself.” Erstwhile known as the Throne Room, it is also where C. Rajagopalachari took oath as the Governor-General of India in the year 1948.
(D) India Gate, an "Arc-de-Triomphe" like archway in the middle of a crossroad is located at the centre of NewDelhi which stands 42m high. The foundation stone of India Gate was laid by His Royal Highness, the Duke of Connaught in 1921 and it was designed by Edwin Lutyens.

Hence the correct answer is option (B).

Note: The Dandi march movement now spread rapidly.Violation of salt laws all over the country was soon followed by defiance of forest laws in Maharashtra,Karnataka and the Central Provinces and refusal to pay the rural chaukidari tax in eastern India.
