Solution
The correct option is D While Gandhi's and Nehru's ideologies were different, they set them aside and worked together for our freedom. When two nouns indicate ownership, but the ownership is separate, each noun in possessive case is suffixed by an apostrophe followed by the letter "s". In the given sentence, the ideologies of Gandhi and that of Nehru were different. Hence, both the words "Gandhi" and "Nehru" are to be suffixed with apostrophe followed by the letter "s". Hence the correct option is C.
Options A and B are incorrect because they do not follow the above pattern of possessive case.
