Answer:

C.

Explanation:

The fact that Nelson Mandela was elected South Africa's President after spending decades in jail is, of course, only part of the story. He was in prison for nearly 30 years for leading protests against the apartheid system in South Africa. Upon his release, he worked to make sure that South Africa remained calm and peaceful in the months leading up to the presidential election in 1994.
