Explanation

Option B is correct because the textbook explicitly confirms that option (b) is the right answer. When a proper noun is used with 'the' and/or in the plural, such as 'the Oliver Tambos', it carries a special meaning. It does not refer to the specific individuals themselves, but rather to many other men like them or many men of their type or kind, whose names may not be as well known.
