Correct answer: (a) III, II, I and IV
Explanation
- A
III, II, I and IV
(a) III, II, I and IV. The Simon Commission was constituted in November 1927; the Nehru Report was submitted in August 1928; the Child Marriage Restraint Act, popularly the Sharda Act, was enacted in 1929; and the Dandi March began on 12 March 1930. That is the only sequence that walks the four years in order, so it is the official key.
- B
I, II, III and IV
(b) I, II, III and IV. This places the Sharda Act (1929) before the Nehru Report (1928) and even before the Simon Commission (1927). The Act cannot precede the Commission that it actually followed.
- C
IV, III, II and I
(c) IV, III, II and I. Starting with the Dandi March (1930) reverses the whole timeline: Salt Satyagraha came last among these four, not first.
- D
I, IV, II and III
(d) I, IV, II and III. It opens with the Sharda Act and then jumps to Dandi March before the Nehru Report and Simon Commission, mixing 1929–30 events ahead of 1927–28.
Summary. Official key is (a) III, II, I and IV. Simon Commission constitution (November 1927) comes first. The all-party Nehru Report answering that Commission belongs to August 1928. The Sharda Act on child marriage is a 1929 statute. Gandhi’s Dandi March opened the Civil Disobedience movement in March 1930. Only that year-walk matches the keyed code.
