Solution

The correct option is B Non-Violence
In reaction to the August Offer proposed by Lord Linlithgow, Gandhi called for a limited ‘Individual Satyagraha’ - his protest against the British government and their inability to accommodate the demands of Indians. The Satyagraha was based on the simple doctrine of Ahimsa, that is, non-violence. Hence, every Satyagrahi had to believe in Ahimsa.
