The correct answer is B.

Aung San Suu Kyi is a Burmese politician and activist. She entered politics to fight for democratization. After the 888 Uprising, in which mass demonstrations for democracy were violently suppressed, she called out for a democratic government.

She was influenced by Ghandi's non-violent views and helped found the National League for Democracy.

However, she was put into house arrest because of her ideals. She was offered freedom if she left the country, but she refused.
