Solution

The correct option is A We struggled for long to gain our freedom.
The word, 'struggle' is a noun, whose verb form is also 'struggle'. 'Struggled' is the past tense of the verb which means: Made forceful or violent efforts to get free of restraint or constriction. Hence, the sentence, 'We struggled for long to gain our freedom' as used in option A is correct.
Options B and D are incorrect as there is no such word as either 'strugged' or 'struggated' in English. These words carry no meaning.
Option C: The word, 'struggling' is the present continuous form of the verb, 'struggle'. It is also used as an adjective. However, in this sentence, the word, 'struggling' is used as a noun (not a verb). This is also grammatically incorrect as 'struggling' is not a noun. Hence, this option is incorrect.
