    3, 4, 1, 2

    3, 4, 1, 2. Gandhi-Irwin Pact (5 March 1931) → Second RTC (Sep–Dec 1931) → Poona Pact (24 Sep 1932) → Civil Disobedience finally withdrawn (April 1934).

Summary. Official key is (d) 3, 4, 1, 2. Pact, Second RTC, Poona Pact, then the 1934 close of Civil Disobedience — not a 1931 ‘end’ before Poona. Also note: Gandhi-Irwin Pact — 5 March 1931; RTC attendance; salt concession; Second RTC — London, Sep–Dec 1931; Gandhi as sole Congress delegate; Poona Pact — 24 September 1932; GandhiAmbedkar; reserved seats, no separate electorates for Depressed Classes; CDM withdrawn — April 1934; first phase had been suspended after Gandhi-Irwin.
