D Correct answer
Explanation

Mahatma Gandhi first tried satyagraha in South Africa (1893-1914), particularly during the campaigns against discriminatory laws like the Asiatic Law Amendment Ordinance. The 1906-1913 satyagraha against the Asiatic Registration Act was his first large-scale application of this method. He only brought satyagraha to India later, starting with Champaran (1917), Bardoli (1918), and the Non-Cooperation Movement.
