Answer:

The answer is C.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Second Great Awakening contributed to the rise and development of important social movements in the early 1800s. For example, many activists of the abolitionist movement were motivated by the belief that slavery was a sin and that those sinful practices had to be ended as a moral improvement of society.
