He always practised _____ ahimsa.
Answer: D
No article is needed: He always practised ahimsa.
Ahimsa (non-violence) is an abstract, uncountable noun used here in its general sense, like truth, honesty or patience. Such nouns take no article when they name the quality in general: He practised patience; He valued honesty.
A and an are used only with singular countable nouns, and the ahimsa would point to some particular, already identified ahimsa, which the sentence does not.
