    Solution

    · Statement 1 is incorrect: Delhi Manifesto of 1929 was some conditions put forward by the prominent leaders to attend the Round Table Conference. It was suggested that in the coming Round Table Conference, the features of Dominion Status to India would be discussed. The Viceroy rejected the conditions mentioned in the Delhi Manifesto. · Statement 2 is incorrect: Lord Irwin was the viceroy of India when the Civil Disobedience Movement was started. Lord Reading is related to the Chauri Chaura Incident and the subsequent withdrawal of the Noncooperation Movement. · Statement 3 is incorrect: The Salt Satyagraha did not produce immediate progress toward dominion status or self-rule for India, did not elicit major policy concessions from the British. However, it greatly influenced the course of the Indian struggle for independence. It shattered people's faith in the British Government and laid the social root for the freedom struggle. This movement also exemplified the moral strength of the common people or India and the stronghold of Gandhi as a national leader.
