Option (b) is correct

• The statement was made during the launch of the Civil Disobedience Movement in 1930. Gandhiji began the movement with the historic Dandi March on 12^th March 1930. Accompanied by 78 selected followers, he walked nearly 200 miles from Sabarmati Ashram to Dandi on the Gujarat coast. On reaching Dandi, he symbolically broke the Salt Law by making salt, openly defying British authority. At this moment, Gandhiji declared: The British rule in India has brought about moral, material, cultural, and spiritual ruination of this great country. I regard this rule as a curse. I am out to destroy this system or the government. Sedition has become my religion. Ours is a nonviolent battle. We are not to kill anybody, but it is our dharma to see that the curse of this Government is blotted out.
