Answer 1

Hint: Civil disobedience is a citizen's active, public refusal to comply with a government's laws, requests, orders, or directives. To be considered "civil," civil disobedience must be peaceful, according to certain definitions. As a result, civil disobedience is frequently confused with nonviolent resistance or peaceful protests.

Complete answer:
In August 1930, Ambedkar founded the Depressed Classes Association to improve the conditions of the poor. The Civil Disobedience movement was started by Gandhiji in March 1930 with the salt satyagraha to eliminate salt tariffs, and concluded in March 1931 with the Gandhi-Irwin agreement.

On March 12, 1930, Indian independence leader Mohandas Gandhi undertook his most daring act of civil disobedience against British rule in India, a courageous march to the sea in protest of the British monopoly on salt. The British Salt Acts made it illegal for Indians to gather or trade salt, which is an important part of their nutrition.

The Gandhi-Irwin deal put a stop to the civil disobedience campaign. On March 5, 1931, Mahatma Gandhi and Lord Irwin, the then Viceroy of India, signed it. The Indian National Congress put an end to the civil disobedience movement. The Indian National Congress took part in the Round Table Conference.

At its Lahore session on December 19, 1929, the Indian National Congress passed the momentous 'Purna Swaraj' – (complete independence) resolution. On January 26, 1930, a public proclamation was issued, which the Congress Party asked Indians to commemorate as 'Independence Day.'

(I) Dr. B.R. Ambedkar established the Depressed Classes Association	(B) August 1930
(II) Gandhiji began the Civil Disobedience Movement	(C) March 1930
(III) Gandhiji ended the Civil Disobedience Movement	(D) March 1931
(IV) Congress adopted the demand for 'Purna Swaraj'	(A) December 1929

Therefore the correct answer is option ‘B’.

Note: The Poorna Swaraj refers to India's proclamation of total independence. Swaraj is a Hindi word that means "self-rule." It began by persuading every Indian person to resist the British for total independence. The Poorna Swaraj movement is an important element of India's independence history.
