Correct option is A

The correct answer is (a) 1, 2, and 3 only

Explanation:

Statement 1: Correct. The Gandhi-Irwin Pact (1931) included the proposal for another round table conference to discuss the agreements reached in the first round table conference. This would lead to a further discussion of the political future of India and greater self-rule.
Statement 2: Correct. As per the Gandhi-Irwin Pact, the Indian National Congress (INC) was to withdraw the Civil Disobedience Movement immediately and effectively in all respects, as part of the pact's terms for reaching a settlement.
Statement 3: Correct. The pact also stipulated that the boycott of British goods was to be withdrawn forthwith. However, it should be noted that the Salt Act would not be amended, which was a point of disagreement and protest later. The government agreed to release political prisoners but made no commitments regarding changes to the Salt Act.
Statement 4: Incorrect. The government did not agree to amend the Salt Act in the pact. The government’s stance was that they would not condone any breach of the existing laws concerning salt administration, but the amendment to the Salt Act was not a part of the agreement.

The INC agreed to withdraw the Civil Disobedience Movement, and it led to the release of political prisoners.

Civil Disobedience Movement (1930-1934)

Overview:
The Civil Disobedience Movement was a significant part of the Indian freedom struggle led by Mahatma Gandhi. It was launched in 1930 to protest against the oppressive British colonial rule, particularly targeting the Salt Tax and other unjust laws.

Salt March (Dandi March):

Date: March 12, 1930
Place: From Sabarmati Ashram to Dandi (on the Gujarat coast).
Purpose: Gandhi and his followers marched 240 miles to make salt from seawater, defying the British monopoly on salt production.
This act of defiance marked the beginning of widespread civil disobedience.

Boycott of British Goods:

Gandhi urged Indians to boycott British goods, refuse to pay taxes, and resign from government services.
People were encouraged to make their own salt, spin khadi (handwoven cloth), and adopt self-reliance.

End of the Movement:

In 1931, the Gandhi-Irwin Pact was signed, leading to the suspension of the Civil Disobedience Movement in exchange for the release of political prisoners.
The movement was re-launched in 1932 but was largely suppressed by the British.
