Answer 2

D. To convince the colonists to fight for independence

Step-by-step explanation:

Thomas Paine wrote common sense around 1775, an essay written in prose that aimed to persuade the people of the 13 colonies to fight for their independence from Britain, doing an allegory to the common sense that was just gaining their independence from them, since they needed to rebel and that they would be better off without the British command.
