The correct answer is D. In 1688, slavery was condemned in a resolution written by German Quakers.

Quakers rejected slavery since their appearance in England. They were the first to condemn it in the United States, even before the country's independence.

Quakers have been known for their social activism and have campaigned against the slave trade and also for women's rights, as well as the rights of minorities such as prisoners or homosexuals.
