Correct answer: Khuda-i-Khidmatgar

Explanation: The correct answer is C. Khuda-i-Khidmatgar. Khan Abdul Ghaffar Khan, also known as the Frontier Gandhi, was a close associate of Mahatma Gandhi and a staunch believer in non-violence. In 1930, he founded a unique non-violent resistance movement among the Pashtuns of the North-West Frontier Province (now in Pakistan). This movement was called the Red Shirt Movement, and its members were famously known as Khuda-i-Khidmatgar, which means ‘Servants of God’ in Pashto.
