According to this paragraph, which of the statements below is most accurate?
Answer: C
The most accurate statement is that Stuart's 'losing battle' refers to his inability to succeed in enabling sepoys to wear caste-marks.
The paragraph says Stuart 'continued to fight his losing battle to allow his sepoys to wear their caste-marks' and was reprimanded again. A battle he is losing is one he cannot win, which is exactly his failure to get permission for the caste-marks.
The first statement is contradicted by the last sentence: his retort 'had no effect on his superiors', so the commander-in-chief was not moved. The second fails because the reprimands show the Europeans were not accommodating. The fourth fails because Stuart himself calls the ban an instance of European prejudice, and the commander-in-chief, who enforced it, was one of the Europeans; nothing says he was exempt.
