Explanation:

As per the question, Gandhi's quit India speech delivered in 1942 primarily aimed to convince the people to adopt a 'democratic and non-violent' mode of struggle and protest in order to attain freedom from the brutal rule of Britishers. His speech aimed to persuade the people to resolve to be a part of 'peaceful' and 'non-violent' fight for the independence of India. Gandhi invites the people to 'join a common struggle for democracy where all would be treated equally' but with the weapon of 'ahimsa'('peaceful demonstrations'). Thus, option B is the correct answer.
