Civil disobedience is linked with which idea?

Peaceful violation of unjust law

Civil disobedience is linked with the idea that people may peacefully refuse to follow laws they consider unjust. The protest is public, deliberate, and disciplined. Its aim is not to defeat others through force, but to expose injustice and encourage legal or political change. Non-violence is essential to the usual meaning of the term, although participants may knowingly face arrest or punishment for breaking the disputed law.

Option A is correct because it states the central idea directly: peaceful violation of an unjust law. Violent conquest depends on force and has a completely different purpose. Supporting foreign rule does not express resistance to injustice, while making a new colony concerns control of territory. The connection with Gandhi’s struggle is useful because his movements emphasized truth, non-violence, and resistance to unjust colonial rules.
