Based on the passage, the best inference about Malala’s father is:
A) He was a kind man who wanted to help others.
The passage specifically highlights his actions of sending food and aid to Shangla, which suggests benevolence and a desire to assist others in need. The options B and C are not explicitly supported by the information provided in the passage, so D (All of the above) and E (None of the above) would not apply. Thus, A is the most accurate choice.
