Explanation
The Gandhi–Irwin Pact (March 1931) traded suspension of the Civil Disobedience Movement (1) for release of political prisoners not convicted of violence (4). Congress agreed to attend the Second Round Table Conference in London — not a “Simla conference” (2 is false) — and there was no clause to pay taxes for the CDM period (3 is false). Hence 1 and 4 — option (C).
