Answer

C. Rajagopalachari matches Trichinopoly to Vedaranyam; K. Kelappan matches Calicut to Payyanur; Sarojini Naidu matches Dharasana Salt Works; Gopabandhu Choudhury matches Balasore to Inchudi.
During the Civil Disobedience Movement of 1930, Mahatma Gandhi's salt march inspired provincial leaders across India: C. Rajagopalachari led the march from Trichinopoly to Vedaranyam in Tamil Nadu, K. Kelappan marched from Calicut to Payyanur in Malabar, Sarojini Naidu led the famous protest at Dharasana Salt Works in Gujarat, and Gopabandhu Choudhury organized the Inchudi Salt Satyagraha near Balasore in Odisha.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Identify the regional Salt Satyagraha route organized by C. Rajagopalachari in South India.
C. Rajagopalachari led satyagrahis from Trichinopoly to Vedaranyam along the Tanjore coast in Tamil Nadu.
This served as the premier southern counterpart to Mahatma Gandhi's Dandi March.
2
Identify the leadership of K. Kelappan in Malabar.
K. Kelappan organized and led the march from Calicut to Payyanur in Kerala.
He mobilized mass support across Kerala for breaking the salt law under the Gandhian call.
3
Associate Sarojini Naidu with her specific action following Mahatma Gandhi's arrest.
Sarojini Naidu spearheaded the non-violent protest raid at the Dharasana Salt Works.
This action gained worldwide attention due to the brutality of the colonial police against passive satyagrahis.
4
Link Gopabandhu Choudhury to the eastern coastal campaign in Odisha.
Gopabandhu Choudhury organized satyagrahis for the campaign from Balasore to Inchudi.
The Inchudi Satyagraha became second only to Dandi in terms of numbers and popular participation.
