The correct statement that best describes the British response to the Salt March is:
The British responded to the Salt March by jailing the protestors and ending the salt tax.
The correct statement is: The British responded to the Salt March by jailing the protestors and ending the salt tax.
To arrive at this answer, we need to eliminate the statements that are incorrect. Let's analyze each statement:
1. The British responded to the Salt March by only jailing those who committed acts of violence.
This statement suggests that only those who committed acts of violence were jailed by the British. However, this is inaccurate because the British responded by jailing the protestors, not just those who were violent. We can eliminate this statement.
2. The British responded to the Salt March by jailing the protestors and ending the salt tax.
This statement accurately represents the British response to the Salt March. The protestors were indeed jailed, and the salt tax was also ended as a result of the demonstrations. This suggests that it could be the correct answer.
3. The British responded to the Salt March by maintaining full political and economic control in India.
This statement is unrelated to the British response to the Salt March. It discusses the broader context of British control in India rather than specifically addressing their reaction to the Salt March. Therefore, we can eliminate this statement.
4. The British responded to the Salt March by refusing to jail those who participated in acts of civil disobedience.
This statement contradicts the historical facts. The British did, in fact, jail the protestors involved in the Salt March, so this statement is incorrect.
Based on our analysis and elimination of the incorrect statements, we can conclude that the statement "The British responded to the Salt March by jailing the protestors and ending the salt tax" is the most accurate representation of the British response to the Salt March.
