Answer:

A. He was born wealthy, but became a hero of the less fortunate people in the world.

Step-by-step explanation:

Robert Francis Kennedy (1925-1968), brother of the U.S. President John F. Kennedy, was an advocate for the African American civil rights, and fought against racial discrimination and to combat organized crime. He was born in a wealthy family and studied law in Harvard University, he became the U.S. attorney general during his brother's presidency, and later a Senator until his death in 1968. Robert F. Kennedy was an outstanding candidate for the Democratic party's nomination campaign, but was shot in Los Angeles, the quote "Born the son of wealth, he died a champion of outcasts of the world" was used by a historian to describe him as an advocate for the less fortunate people in the world.
