Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is option 1 i.e. South Africa.
Mahatma Gandhi, along with other Indians, established the Natal Indian Congress (NIC) in 1894 in Durban, South Africa. The primary aim was to fight against racial discrimination and to improve the social and political conditions of the Indian community in South Africa. Gandhi’s leadership in the NIC was pivotal in organizing protests against oppressive laws, especially discriminatory taxation, and pass laws that severely impacted the Indian population. The movement laid the foundation for his later work in India’s struggle for independence.
