Answer 2

C - if a law goes against morality then citizens should protest it peacefully.

Thoreau wrote Civil Disobedience based on his disgust with slavery and the Mexican-American War (published in 1849) and if laws go against morailty, use nonviolent techniques such as bocotting or nonpayment of taxes to protest.
