In the Dandi March which item did Gandhi make a symbol of the movement?

Correct answer: Salt

Salt became a powerful symbol because it was used by every household, rich or poor. The colonial government imposed a salt tax and prevented Indians from freely making or collecting salt from the sea. By choosing salt, Gandhi connected a political protest with an everyday hardship faced by ordinary people. This made the movement easy to understand and encouraged broad public participation.

The correct choice is Salt, option C. During the Dandi March in 1930, Gandhi and his followers travelled from Sabarmati Ashram to the coastal village of Dandi. There, he broke the salt law by making salt from seawater. Cotton, rice and tea were important products, but none of them was the central symbol of this march. Therefore, the supplied answer correctly identifies salt.
