Option B

Sabarmati

Solution :

The correct option is Sabarmati.

The historic Salt March, also known as the Dandi March or the Salt Satyagraha, was a major nonviolent protest action led by Mahatma Gandhi in March–April 1930.

On 12 March 1930, Gandhiji began his march towards the coastal village of Dandi (located on the shores of the Arabian Sea) to protest against the British salt monopoly. The starting point of this march was his residence, the Sabarmati Ashram, which is located in Ahmedabad, Gujarat. Therefore, Gandhiji began walking towards the ocean from his ashram located at Sabarmati.
