Explanation
At the Second Round Table Conference (1931), the British refused the basic nationalist demand for freedom — statement 1 is true. India was never granted dominion status in 1932 — statement 2 is false. Lord Willingdon followed repression, not reconciliation, after the conference — statement 3 is false. The Civil Disobedience Movement did begin with Gandhi breaking the salt laws at Dandi in 1930 — statement 4 is true. Statements 1 and 4 are correct. Hence option C is correct.
