Read the following passage and answer the questions below.

When I was 11, I visited India and doing the typical tourist in India routines I got to see and ride elephants. Now if you’ve been near elephants before you know that huge doesn’t aptly capture the sheer size of them, and in the eyes of an 11 year old that was just amplified."

"Oddly enough though all of the elephants had their ankles tied to the ground with a bit of rope, and while the rope looked like it was good quality, the amount and thickness just didn’t seem capable of holding back a fully grown behemoth like an elephant. So I asked one of the workers and he explained that they had the elephants from infancy, and when the elephants are young the rope that is used is enough to keep them contained as they don’t have the strength and size to break free yet. But by the time they grow into adults and have the strength to easily break away, they’ve grown so accustomed to being unable to snap the ropes that they don’t believe they can break free, even when it seemed so obvious to anyone else looking."

It was habit and fear that kept them in bondage, not the ropes themselves.

I guess the point of this long winded story about Dumbo is that we never really know what we’re capable of until we push the limits a bit, step outside of our comfort zone, and be ballsy and crazy enough to tug at the things that we feel hold us back every once in a while, in hopes that they’ll rip apart, leaving us free to command our destinies.

Which of the following describes the true essence of the passage?

((a))
It is not in the stars to hold our destiny but in ourselves.
((b))
There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be
((c))

जब सविनय अवज्ञा आंदोलन अपने शिखर पर था तब नवम्बर 1930 में भारतीय गोलमेज सम्मेलन का अधिवेशन प्रारंभ हुआ। इसमें कांग्रेस अनुपस्थित थी। पहला गोलमेज सम्मेलन सफल रहा। परिसंघ बनाने के पक्ष में सभी एकमत थे। सर तेजबहादुर सप्नू परिसंघ के समर्थक थे। बीकानेर के महाराजा और भोपाल के नवाब ने राजाओं की ओर से यह कहा कि वे परिसंघ में मिलने के लिए तैयार हैं। लीग के दोनों गुट, एक शफी वाला और दूसरा जिन्ना वाला, सहमत हो गए। किंतु सभी ने यह अनुभव किया कि कांग्रेस को सम्मिलित किया जाना चाहिए। वाइसराय लार्ड इर्विन और गांधीजी के बीच एक भेंट हुई और दोनों ने 5 मार्च 1931 को एक करार पर हस्ताक्षर किए।

महात्माजी आंदोलन वापिस लेने और गोलमेज सम्मेलन में सम्मिलित होने के लिए सहमत हो गए। इस करार की मिश्रित प्रतिक्रिया हुई। कुछ लोगों ने इस करार को सफल बताया क्योंकि वाइसराय बातचीत करने के लिए मेज पर आया था। दूसरों की आलोचना का यह आधार था कि भारतीयों को इससे कुछ भी प्राप्त नहीं हुआ। असंतोष का एक महत्वपूर्ण कारण यह भी था कि गांधीजी ने भगत सिंह, सुखदेव और राजगुरु इन तीन क्रांतिकारियों पर दया करके उन्हें फांसी नहीं देने के लिए वाइसराय से अनुरोध नहीं किया। इन तीनों को 23 मार्च 1931 को फांसी दे दी गई। पूरा देश इससे आहत हो गया और दुख में डूब गया। स्थान-स्थान पर गांधीजी के विरुद्ध प्रदर्शन किए गए। 29 मार्च 1931 को कांग्रेस का जो अधिवेशन कराची में प्रारंभ हुआ उसमें इन तीनों की वीरता और त्याग की प्रशंसा करते हुए एक संकल्प पारित किया गया।

दूसरे गोलमेज सम्मेलन में गांधीजी ने कांग्रेस के एकमात्र प्रतिनिधि के रूप में भाग लिया। डा. अंबेडकर ने दलित वर्गों का प्रतिनिधित्व करते हुए सम्मेलन में भाग लिया और यह मांग की कि जिस प्रकार अन्य अल्पसंख्यकों के लिए पृथक्‌ निर्वाचक मंडल और आरक्षण हैं उसी प्रकार दलितों के लिए भी हो। गांधीजी अंबेडकर से समझौता करने के लिए तैयार नहीं थे, जबकि मुसलमानों की मांगों के आगे समर्पण कर चुके थे। गांधीजी ने यह भी प्रयत्न किया कि मुसलमान उनके साथ आएं और डा. अंबेडकर का विरोध करें। अल्पसंख्यक समिति की अंतिम बैठक में कोई सहमति नहीं हो सकी और गांधीजी ने अन्य व्यक्तियों के साथ एक अध्यपेक्षा पर हस्ताक्षर किए जिससे ब्रिटेन के प्रधानमंत्री को मध्यस्थता करने की शक्ति दी गई। कांग्रेस और मुस्लिम लीग के बीच की खाई और बढ़ गई। कांग्रेस ने सविनय अवज्ञा आंदोलन पुन: प्रारंभ कर दिया।

उपरोक्त गद्यांश के अनुसार गांधीजी ने कांग्रेस के एकमात्र प्रतिनिधि के रूप में कौन-से सम्मेलन में भाग लिया था?
