Solution
The correct option is B Mohandas Gandhi
Gandhiji wrote these words in the journal 'Young India' in 1931. He firmly believed that an adult is matured enough to elect a government of his/her choice. Gandhiji also thought if a person was poor or illiterate, it does not mean that the person was not wise enough to elect the government. Hence, he felt that the right to vote must be given to all the adult citizens irrespective of gender, economic status, etc.
