In my opinion, the correct answer is A. Inglis's experiences taught her that the struggle to topple injustice and inequality demands that ordinary people face their fears and take risks. Inglis is just one of those ordinary people, as well as her sister Anita. They are white and privileged, which means they didn't have to take any risks. But they did take them nonetheless, contributing in their own way to the end of the Apartheid. She talks about her own fear, implying that fear is a normal feeling in the face of adversity.
