The correct answer is C. To show that women were citizens

Susan Brownell Antony voted illegally in the 1872 United States presidential elections to show that women were citizens. Susan B was a civil rights activists who advocated for women rights 4o years before the 19th Amendment that granted women the right to vote in the U.S. She refused to pay a fine of $100 pointing out that she did not commit a crime but was simply exercising her citizen rights. Along with nine others at Rochester, they had shown their capacity to participate in an intelligent exercise of the franchise by voting for GRANT and DIX.
