Gandhi wrote that John Ruskin’s ‘Unto This Last’ taught him that “the good of the individual is contained in the good of all,” a principle he later called Sarvodaya; this single idea was what he said transformed his life, so option (b) is right, while statements (a) and (c) were not the specific message he cited.
