Option 3: "against injustice"

Explanation: This option accurately reflects the main idea of the text, which highlights Mahatma Gandhi and Martin Luther King using nonviolent resistance as a powerful tool to fight against injustice. This aligns perfectly with the overall theme of striving for peace and justice.

Option 1: "For personal gains"
