Yes, you are correct. If the answer choice "A. to challenge ideas about a historical person" is not correct, then the next best choice would be "B. to bring a person from history to life." This is because the excerpt provides specific details about Esther Lobetkin's involvement in the strike and her tireless efforts, which helps to paint a vivid picture of her as a real person from history.
