The correct answer is B) Gandhi.

The Indian leader who advocated a non-violent approach to independence was Gandhi.

Mahatma Gandhi (1869-1948) was a lawyer and a social activist in India. He was the leader of the non-violent Independence movement against the British. He was the first to use non-violent acts of disobedience to fight for the liberty of India and the civil rights of its people. Gandhi was assassinated in 1948 but its ideas influenced civil rights and political leaders like Dr. Martin Luther King.
