The correct answer is C. you can tell that what you are doing is good or bad if you want other people to know about it or not

The Gandhi test means that if one is doing something and does not mind other people knowing about it, then it's likely that what one is doing is good but, if one is doing something and one will not want other people to know about it then it's most likely what one is doing is bad.
