Hint:We will discuss the early life of Mahatma Gandhi.Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi was the greatest leader of modern India. He was also a saint and a moral revolutionary. Mahatma, the name given to Gandhi, speaks volumes about the man.

Complete answer:
The Mahatma "the Great Soul" is its translation. He was the man who became "One with the People", who felt that they are of his own flesh and blood."Gandhi was born on second October at Porbandar in Gujarat. His father was the Dewan of the Rajkot State. He was a quiet boy at School, worked hard and was very honest. From eighteen hundred ninety three to nineteen hundred fourteen the field of Gandhi's activity was South Africa, where he went as a lawyer of a firm. He was not familiar with the fact that Indians settled in South Africa were subjected to the most humiliating treatment Gandhi son bound himself the target of the meanest insults In Natal and Transvaal "he was thrown out of hotels and trains insulted bostm and kicked". The Indians in Afriça. were helpless unable to defend themselves. The South African Government passed new Asiatic Law directed against Indian immigrants in Transvaal. Three times Gandhi was put behind the prison bars, while others died as martyrs. Later the authorities had to bow down a little. Three pound poll-tax, which Indians had to pay, was abolished.

Hence, the correct answer is option (B).

Note:He returned to India in eighteen hundred ninety one after studying law in England, a rather sad homecoming for his mother had just died. Soon afterwards, he began practising law at Mumbai.
