B 4, 3, 1, 2
C 4, 3, 2, 1
D 3, 4, 1, 2

Correct answer: (d) 3, 4, 1, 2

Explanation

  1. A

    3, 4, 2, 1

    3, 4, 2, 1. Puts the end of Civil Disobedience before the Poona Pact. The movement was only suspended in 1931; it was withdrawn in 1934, after Poona (1932).

  2. B

    4, 3, 1, 2

    4, 3, 1, 2. Starts with the Second Round Table Conference. Gandhi-Irwin (March 1931) came first.

  3. C

    4, 3, 2, 1

    4, 3, 2, 1. Same false start at the Second RTC.

  4. D

    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 Gandhi-Irwin Pact (5 March 1931) → Second RTC (Sep–Dec 1931) → Poona Pact (24 Sep 1932) → Civil Disobedience finally withdrawn (April 1934).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Poona Pact — 24 September 1932; Gandhi–Ambedkar; reserved seats, no separate electorates for Depressed Classes; CDM withdrawn — April 1934; first phase had been suspended after Gandhi-Irwin.
