Solution

The correct option is A Kheda
The regions in and around Kheda had been seriously affected by famine and diseases like the plague. As a result, the peasants suffered crop failure and were unable to meet the taxes levied on them by the British. Gandhi, along with Vallabh Bhai, launched a Satyagraha movement and asked the peasants not to pay any taxes. This resistance forced the British to come to an agreement with Gandhi.
