The correct answer is C) Trichinopoly to Vedaranniyam on Tanjore coast.

Inspired by Mahatma Gandhi’s Dandi March in 1930, C. Rajagopalachari organized a similar salt march in South India, specifically in Tamil Nadu. This march is known as the Vedaranyam Salt March.

The Vedaranyam Salt March, led by C. Rajagopalachari (Rajaji), took place in April 1930, starting from Trichinopoly (Tiruchirappalli) and ending at Vedaranyam on the Tanjore (Thanjavur) coast. The aim was to protest against the British salt tax by illegally manufacturing salt, mirroring Gandhi’s march to Dandi. This was a significant event in the Civil Disobedience Movement in South India.
