Let’s arrange the statements in chronological order based on the events that shaped the Civil Disobedience Movement.

• Statement ii : The British government appointed the Simon Commission to review the constitutional situation in India, but it did not include any Indian member. This happened in 1927 and sparked widespread protests and boycotts by Indians who demanded “Swaraj” or self-rule.
  
  
• Statement iii : Congress passed the Lahore Resolution, declaring Purna Swaraj or complete independence as its goal. This happened in 1929 after the failure of the Simon Commission and the rejection of the Nehru Report by the British government⁴. The Congress also decided to launch a civil disobedience movement under Gandhi’s leadership.
  
  
• Statement i : Gandhiji and his followers marched from Sabarmati Ashram to Dandi and made salt from seawater, defying the British salt monopoly. This happened in 1930 and marked the beginning of the Civil Disobedience Movement. The salt march was a symbolic act of resistance against the oppressive salt tax imposed by the British.
  
  
• Statement iv : The British government arrested Gandhiji and other leaders, leading to widespread protests and violence. This happened in 1930-31 after the salt march and other acts of civil disobedience had spread throughout the country. The British tried to suppress the movement by arresting thousands of people, lathi-charging crowds, and firing at demonstrators.

Thus, the correct sequence of statements is ii, iii, i, iv .

Therefore, option (A) is correct .
