Official Solution & Explanation:
Correct Answer: Option B(पीटरमारित्सबर्ग)
7 जून, 1893 को डरबन से प्रिटोरिया की रेल यात्रा के दौरान प्रथम श्रेणी का वैध टिकट होने के बावजूद नस्लीय भेदभाव के कारण गांधी जी को पीटरमारित्सबर्ग (Pietermaritzburg) रेलवे स्टेशन पर ट्रेन से जबरन उतारकर फेंक दिया गया था।
On 7 June 1893, while traveling from Durban to Pretoria with a valid first-class ticket, Gandhi was forcibly evicted and thrown off the train at Pietermaritzburg railway station due to racial segregation, a defining event that transformed his life.
