Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

The Bardoli Satyagraha was led by Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel in 1928 in the Bardoli taluka (region) of Gujarat. The protest was against the increase in land revenue assessments by the British government, which the farmers felt were unjust and excessive. Patel organized the farmers, urging them to refuse payment until their demands were met. The success of the movement helped Patel gain national recognition, and he was later called the "Sardar" (leader). The victory of the Bardoli Satyagraha played a pivotal role in India's struggle for independence and in establishing Patel as one of the key leaders in the freedom movement.
