Spencer Huang · Answer 1

The answer is A) educated Indians seeking self-rule. Men like Mohandas K. Gandhi who were educated in the West began campaigning for independence after years of British rule where many Indians were being treated unfairly. He began to launch a campaign of independence through civil disobedience that led to the emergence of India and Pakistan.
