Answer:
B) the purposeful breaking of an unjust law in a peaceful manner
Step-by-step explanation:
Civil disobedience is also known as passive resistance, which means to deny or refusal of citizens to follow some laws made by government through a peaceful protest. The purpose of civil disobedience is to bring change in laws or government policies without any harming or damaging society or human beings.
The term "civil" in civil disobedience stands for peaceful or non-violent protest and disobedience stands for refusal of order or laws forcing by government over citizens.
Hence, the correct answer is "B) the purposeful breaking of an unjust law in a peaceful manner".
