............ believed that freedom does not come through effort but it is the perception of truth that liberates.
Answer: A
The view is J. Krishnamurti's.
Krishnamurti taught that freedom cannot be reached by effort, discipline or method, since all effort is the self struggling to become something and so strengthens the self. Freedom comes from choiceless awareness, the direct perception of 'what is'. In his words, it is truth that liberates, not your effort to be free.
K. C. Bhattacharya stressed the spiritual discipline by which the subject frees itself. Tagore spoke of creative self-expression and union with the universal, and Gandhi of strenuous moral effort, self-discipline and satyagraha. None of them denied the role of effort in this way.
