The direct answer is A: salt connected the Civil Disobedience Movement with an everyday need of ordinary people. Salt was essential for everyone, rich or poor, and the colonial government’s salt laws and tax made this common necessity a powerful symbol of unjust rule. Gandhi’s Dandi March and the making or collection of salt turned an abstract political demand into an action people could understand and join. The reasoning is: everyone needs salt; the state controlled its production and sale; breaking the salt law was a simple act of civil disobedience; therefore many ordinary people could identify with and participate in the movement. Option A is correct because it explains the mass appeal of the symbol. Option B is wrong because the movement was not limited to soldiers; it involved many sections of society. Option C is wrong because the march did not change the currencies of princely states. Option D is wrong because it did not close the Kisan Sabha. The choice of salt made freedom visible in daily life. Memory cue: salt was small in size but large in public meaning.

The direct answer is A: Sehgal, Dhillon and Shah Nawaz became a symbol of shared nationalism above religion. The three officers belonged to different religious communities, and their joint trial in the INA cases made that combination highly visible to the public. The reasoning is: the officers were tried together; people saw Hindu, Sikh and Muslim participation in one national struggle; the trials attracted public sympathy; opposition to colonial rule and feelings of national unity grew. Option A is correct because the combined public image challenged communal division and represented a united India. Option B is wrong because the Chipko Movement was a later forest-protection movement. Option C is wrong because Nil Darpan was a Bengali play associated with Dinabandhu Mitra, not written by these officers. Option D is wrong because the Pabna peasant movement was a different agrarian movement. Exam cue: remember the Red Fort INA trials and their impact on national unity and public sympathy.
