Answer 1

i would think its B but i'm not very sure

Answer 2

The correct answer is B.

Satyagraha is the idea of non-violent resistance or fighting with peace.

It was started by Mohandas Gandhi in the Indian independence movement against colonial powers that ruled over India. For Ghandi, it was a moral force born of truth and non-violence in which he found his strength.

The word satyagraha comes from the Sanskrit words truth and insistence.

This idea helped Nelson Mandela and Martin Luther King Jr. during their campaigns for civil and human rights in South Africa and the United States.
