Answer:
d. gadflies
Explanation:
In his famous letter from Birmingham City Jail, Martin Luther King Jr. wrote:
<em>“...we must see the need of having nonviolent </em><em>gadflies </em><em>to create the kind of tension in society that will help men rise from the dark depths of prejudice and racism to the majestic heights of understanding and brotherhood”</em>
<em />
Gadfly is an established metaphor for the person that doesn’t take the status quo as such and tries to bring the change and the novelty into the society, usually by standing up to the authorities in the process.
Using the gadfly metaphor, King expresses the importance of standing up to the established rules of the society and<u> creating tension that has to end up in change</u>. The tension he calls for is <u>nonviolent and interference to the authority</u>, but impossible to ignore. <u>He is, therefore, calling for nonviolent civil disobedience that will challenge the racial prejudices, and finally abolish them.</u>

Explanation:
Rikki-Tikki-Tavi is a short story written by Rudyard Kipling. The story is about a young mongoose, who combats with Nag and his wife, Nagina and defeat them successfully.
In the story, when Rikki-Tikki-Tavi asks Darzee for help, Darzee, being too feather-brained hesitate to do it. Darzee's wife knew that Nag's eggs would mean more snakes in the garden, so she quickly flung herself before Nagina feigning her injury on the wings. Though it was a mistake by Darzee's wife but it helped Rikki-Tikki-Tavi to defeat the snake family.
The result of this mistake was that Rikki-Tikki-Tavi was able to destroy Nagina's egg and present a choice before her either to choose her baby or hurt Teddy.
This move helped Rikki-Tikki-Tavi to kill Nagina and her family.
