A Correct answer
Explanation

The noun 'good' correctly completes the phrase 'for his own good,' which is a standard English expression meaning 'for his own benefit/welfare.' The sentence discusses finding freedom with discipline for personal benefit and community welfare. 'Best' would need a superlative context, 'better' needs comparison, and 'goodness' is an abstract noun not fitting the structure.
