The correct option is A 2000
The struggle against privatization of water in Bolivia started in January 2000 when the government was pressurised by the World Bank to give up its municipal water right which were then sold to an MNC. People went to strike against harsh system of imposing heavy taxes and the struggle resulted in restoration of water supply to municipality at old rates.
