Read the passage and answer the questions:

In January 1915, Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi returned to his homeland after two decades of residence abroad. These years had been spent for the most part in South Africa, where he went as a lawyer, and in time became a leader of the Indian community in that territory. As the historian Chandran Devanesan has remarked. South Africa was "the making of the Mahatma". It was in South Africa that Mahatma Gandhi first forged the distinctive techniques of non-violent protest known as satyagraha, first promoted harmony between religions, and first alerted upper-caste Indians to their discriminatory treatment of low castes and women.

In 1915, Mahatma Gandhi returned to India from which country?

South Africa

The correct answer is Option (2) → South Africa

In 1915, Mahatma Gandhi returned to India from South Africa, where he had been active in the struggle for civil rights and justice for the Indian community living in South Africa. Gandhi had spent over 20 years in South Africa, working as a lawyer and leading campaigns against various forms of discrimination and injustices faced by Indians in the country. His experiences in South Africa had a profound impact on his philosophy of nonviolent resistance and his commitment to social and political change through nonviolent means. When he returned to India in 1915, he brought with him the principles and strategies of nonviolent resistance that would later become instrumental in the Indian independence movement.

So, the correct option is [2].
