Answer 1

The correct option is B He wanted to stop the discrimination faced by Indians.

The whites in South Africa looked down upon the dark-complexioned African natives who were institutionally segregated and ill-treated. Indians faced similar treatment, and Mahatma Gandhi wanted to help them. He stayed back in South Africa and fought for the Indians.
