The practice of achieving goals such as social change through symbolic protests, civil disobedience, or other non-cooperation without using violence.

• A. Civil Disobedience
• B. Nonviolent Resistance
• C. Violent Uprising
• D. Economic Boycott

Answer: (B)

Nonviolent resistance is pursuing social change through methods that avoid violence, such as symbolic protests, civil disobedience, and other forms of noncooperation. This matches the description because the emphasis is on achieving goals without using force, using public action to apply pressure while maintaining nonviolence. Civil disobedience is a key tactic within this broad approach, not the entire concept. Violent uprising relies on violence, which the prompt excludes, so it doesn’t fit. An economic boycott is also nonviolent and can be part of nonviolent resistance, but the description points to the overall method of nonviolent action rather than a single tactic.
