Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is option 1 i.e. Gopal Krishna Gokhale.
- Upon returning from South Africa, on Gokhale's advice, Gandhiji spent a year traveling around British India, getting to know the land and its people.
- He also wrote recommendation letters for Gandhi to several lawyers in Bombay to secure a junior ship for him. But the South African problem kept Gandhi preoccupied and he decided against the request.
- Gandhi had remarked that “if Gokhale had not played this stellar role, the South African problem would never have been resolved”.
