- AAhmedabad
- BChamparan
- CChauri Chaura
- DSouth India
Explanation
In September 1921, during his tour of South India, Mahatma Gandhi adopted the loincloth as his dress after witnessing the extreme poverty of the masses at Madurai. He also shaved his head, resolving to identify himself with the poorest Indians. This did not occur during his Ahmedabad, Champaran or Chauri Chaura engagements. Hence option D is correct.
