D Correct answer
Explanation

The Civil Disobedience Movement was formally launched with Mahatma Gandhi's Dandi March (Salt Satyagraha) in March 1930, where he marched 240 miles to the Arabian Sea to make salt in defiance of the Salt Act. This was a direct challenge to British monopoly and taxation. While people did offer themselves for arrest and Round Table Conferences were related events, the Salt March was the defining starting point.
