Detailed Solution
A. Vinoba Bhave — Individual Satyagraha (2): During the Second World War, Gandhi launched the Individual Satyagraha in October 1940. Vinoba Bhave was selected as the first Individual Satyagrahi and began his Satyagraha on 17 October 1940. Its purpose was to register a non-violent protest against India's involvement in the war without its consent.
B. B.G. Tilak — Home Rule Movement (1): Bal Gangadhar Tilak established a Home Rule League in 1916 and carried out an extensive campaign to popularise the demand for self-government. The Home Rule Leagues of Tilak and Annie Besant gave the demand for self-government a stronger place in national politics.
C. Aruna Asaf Ali — Quit India Movement (4): On 9 August 1942, after the arrest of the principal Congress leaders, Aruna Asaf Ali hoisted the national flag at Gowalia Tank Maidan in Bombay. She subsequently remained underground and continued the activities of the Quit India Movement, becoming one of its prominent figures.
D. Sarojini Naidu — Dharasana Raid (3): After the arrest of Gandhi and subsequently Abbas Tyabji, Sarojini Naidu led the volunteers in the Dharasana Salt Satyagraha. On 21 May 1930, thousands of Satyagrahis advanced towards the Dharasana Salt Works and faced severe police action.
Therefore, the correct matching is Vinoba Bhave–Individual Satyagraha, Tilak–Home Rule Movement, Aruna Asaf Ali–Quit India Movement and Sarojini Naidu–Dharasana Raid.
