A. Because of the nonviolent methods he has used to fight oppression.
Explanation:
Martin Luther King was awarded the Nobel peace Prize in 1964 for his great work towards the civil rights movement in America for the rights of the blacks and against racism. At first, he questioned why the award was given to him given that the movement wasn't fully successful yet. To him, he thinks that it had <em>"not yet won the very peace and brotherhood which is the essence of the Nobel Prize." </em>He is of the opinion that the award doesn't signify any freedom and that the full aim of the movement is yet to be achieved. But he also also readily accepted and concluded that<em> "nonviolence is the answer to the crucial political and moral question of our time — the need for man to overcome oppression and violence without resorting to violence and oppression."</em>
Thus, the right answer to the question is because of the non violent methods he has used to fight oppression.
Although there is no precise reference to the text, <em>"the middle of nowhere" is a phrase representing a very remote and usually isolated place.</em> So, the narrator and his family must think that his dad's home is far away from them and possibly far away from civilization, hence they call it "the Middle of Nowhere".
