The correct answer is C. Conductors

Step-by-step explanation:

During the 1800s a complex network of roads and safe houses was established in the U.S. for slaves to escape to the Noth and even other countries or zones where they could be free. The role of those that supported helped fugitive slaves during the road was key as in this way slaves could stop during the road and hide, this included whit abolitionists, Native Americans, and free blacks called the "conductors" who supported those slaves that scaped and wanted to be free. Therefore, the people who helped fugitive slaves escape along a secret network were called conductors.
