A Correct answer
Explanation

The Champaran Movement (1917) marked Gandhi's first major intervention in Indian national politics after his return from South Africa. He led indigo farmers against oppressive plantation practices, establishing his method of satyagraha and civil disobedience. The Dandi March (1930) came much later, as did the Non-cooperation (1920) and Civil Disobedience (1930) movements. Champaran was Gandhi's political debut in India.
