  3. 1 and 3 only
  4. 1, 2 and 3

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: B - 2 only
The Ahmedabad Mill Strike (1918) saw Gandhi's first hunger strike in India - correct. The Dandi March (1930) launched the Civil Disobedience Movement, not the first non-cooperation; Champaran (1917) was his first civil disobedience, and "Truth & Ahimsa" is a principle, not that event. So only pair 2 is correct.
