Answer 1

C. Fought Chinese customs and Confucian traditions

Step-by-step explanation:

The Taiping Rebellion challenged traditional Chinese and Confucian principles. It attempted to overthrow China's Qing Dynasty and replace it with a new "Heavenly Kingdom." Many joined the Taiping Rebellion because they believed the Qing emperors had brought foreign traditions to China. The Qing emperors were considered foreigners because they were racially Manchurian, while most people in China were racially Han.
