Answer 1

The correct answer is C. The government imprisoned Mandela and banned his political party.

Nelson Mandela was arrested in 1962 and subsequently sentenced to life imprisonment in 1964 for his anti-apartheid activities. The African National Congress (ANC), the party he was part of, was also banned at that time.
