Correct answer choice is:
C. The pamphlet by Thomas Paine that convinced many of the need for independence.
Step-by-step explanation:
Thomas Paine (1737–1809) was a revolutionary author who migrated from England to America in 1774. Only two years later, shortly in 1776, Paine advertised Common Sense, a hugely substantial pamphlet that influenced several American settlers that the time had certainly appeared to split away from British control.
