The right answer is A.

Explanation:

His Holiness the Dalai Lama is the spiritual leader of Tibet and the main figure of Tibetan Buddhism. He was also the head of the local government until the Chinese took military control of Tibet in the 1950s. He escaped to India where he has been living as an exile since then, heading a government in exile. Tenzin Gyatso (his actual name) got the Nobel Prize for Peace in 1989.
