Correct answers: 1 and 4.

Gandhi promoted homespun (khadi) chiefly to undermine British economic control by boycotting imported British textiles and to foster self-reliance and national pride. He sought to revive village industries and resist industrial dependence, not to modernize large-scale textile mills or boost exports.
