With whom was Mahatma Gandhi fighting for freedom?
It is mentioned in the passage that ‘he showed that although he was prepared to fight the British Government tooth and nail for the independence of India’. The word, 'he' refers to Gandhiji. Hence, we know that Mahatma Gandhi was fighting the British government for freedom. Option C is the right answer.

Option B is incorrect because ‘British Governor’ is not mentioned in the passage.
Option D is not applicable because only option C is the correct answer.
