Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. within.

In this context, "within" indicates that the love and respect for elders originate from within, meaning it comes from deep within the cultural and familial values of Indian society.

It emphasizes that the reverence for elders is not superficial or forced but rather a genuine and intrinsic part of the culture.

The use of "within" suggests that this respect is deeply ingrained in individuals and communities, shaping their behaviour and attitudes towards elders.
