B Correct answer
Explanation

The first blank requires a noun ('struggle' as the object of 'is'). The second needs a past tense verb ('struggled' describing past action). The third blank is awkwardly phrased but accepts 'struggler' (noun referring to a person who struggles) as the grammatical choice for modifying 'origins'. Option B provides these forms.
