Every genius that comes to the world achieves greatness through the capacity of taking trouble. All great men of the world who have achieved impossible things in their lifetime have undergone hardships, sacrifices, trials and tribulations. There is no easy victory over failure. No hard achievement is smooth and easy. History of great men reminds us that with strong determination man can achieve anything he may set his mind upon, however impossible it may seem apparently.
A man with determination and iron will can defeat all hurdles in the way of his mission. Even the most intelligent people suffer in life if they cannot cope with their circumstances and labour hard to achieve the goal of their life. A genius who is fired with real zeal and determination to achieve his ideal comes to possess the necessary capacity to bear the hardships, cross the hurdles and achieve the final victory. Genius and hard work go together to bring the desired results. The stage of greatness comes after many stages of frustration and disappointment. The weaker man gives way to these frustrations but the genius perseveres and holds on to his mission until they achieve the object of their life.

- avoiding hardships
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: B - strong determination and iron will
The passage says that a man with determination and iron will can defeat all hurdles in the way of his mission. Coping with circumstances is mentioned, but as something even intelligent people must do, not as what defeats all hurdles. The passage speaks of bearing hardships, not avoiding them, and nothing in it ties success to becoming strong.
