Answer: D
The correct phrase is 'put up with'.
'Put up with' means to tolerate. Mandela could not tolerate the racial discrimination in his country.
'Run after' means chase, 'hold over' means postpone and 'put together' means assemble, none of which fits.
'Put up with' is a phrasal verb meaning to tolerate or endure something unpleasant. The sentence says that Mandela could not tolerate racial discrimination. The other phrasal verbs, 'run after', 'hold over' and 'put together', have unrelated meanings.
