(Student must mark on the actual map with correct symbols. Three suggested standard items from History/Geography:)
- Dandi — Salt Satyagraha site (Gujarat coast) ● symbol
- Calcutta — INC Session 1920 (West Bengal) ★ symbol

Explanation
- CBSE map questions award 1 mark each for correct identification/labelling — spelling matters.
- Point A = Calcutta: The Special Session of INC in September 1920 (Non-Cooperation Movement launched) was held in Calcutta.
- Point B = Dandi: Located on Gujarat's coast; Gandhi arrived here on 6 April 1930 to break the salt law.
- For part (b), always use the prescribed symbol (dot for place, star for session, etc.) and write the name legibly — examiners check both symbol and name.
- Since the third item for part (b) was not specified in the question as given here, mark whichever three from the actual printed question appear on your map paper.
