A.  The British imperial agent clearly thought the conditions in India were unjust due to what, we can assume, he saw as mercantilism conditions when he actually arrived.  His resignation will not stop the expansion of the British Empire and it is unlikely that anyone who could actually change conditions will take note.  However, he is sacrificing his career and potential future wealth in order to make a point.  He has met his notion of justice, not society's, so B does not apply.  He does not really reach his goal in creating a just environment, so C is likewise not applicable.  D is also out because it seems to jump to a conclusion that one of the two societies found the arrangement unjust, but that is not supported by the limited information provided.
