Ans: (b) Mahatma Gandhi

Explanation: The correct answer is (b) Mahatma Gandhi.

The quote, “Cowardice and Ahimsa do not go together any more than water and fire,” is attributed to Mahatma Gandhi. Ahimsa, meaning nonviolence or non-harming, was one of the fundamental principles of Gandhi’s philosophy and his method of resistance during India’s struggle for independence.

Gandhi believed that practicing nonviolence required courage and strength, rather than being a sign of cowardice. He emphasized that nonviolence was not a passive or weak approach but a powerful force that required individuals to stand up for justice and truth even in the face of adversity.

Therefore, the correct answer is (b) Mahatma Gandhi.
