Correct Answer Explanation
The subjunctive 'return' (not 'returns' or 'returned') is correctly used after 'advocated that.' The appositive 'the land that, to him, symbolized the possibility of freedom' is precise and well-placed. Options B and C create awkward relative clause chains. Options D and E use incorrect possessive or gerund forms.
