Solution

The correct option is A Australia
Peter Norman was a White Australian athlete who had won the silver medal in the 1968 Mexico Olympics. Tommie Smith and John Carlos showed their silent protest for the then American Civil Rights Movement. Peter Norman showed his support to his African-American counterparts by wearing a human rights badge on his shirt. This showed that social differences may also unite some people.
