💡 Solution & Explanation

Mahatma Gandhi undertook the 240-mile Dandi March from Sabarmati Ashram in March 1930 to break the British monopoly on salt production and protest the regressive salt tax. Other events like the Rowlatt Act triggered the 1919 agitations, whereas the Simon Commission boycott occurred in 1928 over the absence of Indian members. The Salt Satyagraha marked the formal launch of the Civil Disobedience Movement across the country.
