Answer 2

The correct answer is B) A student who passes out copies of her sacred texts in front of a police station despite knowing that she will be arrested.

A country has passed a law forbidding religious minorities from owning or reading their religions' sacred texts. The people who are engaged in passive resistance against this law could be a student who passes out copies of her sacred texts in front of a police station despite knowing that she will be arrested.

Passive resistant is the act of protest in which protesters do not commit any act of violence. Mahatma Gandhi was the leader from India that started this passive resistance movement when he tried to get the independence of India from Great Britain. He influenced many other leaders such as Martin Luther King Jr. So this student mentioned in the question is engaged in passive resistance actions.
