Answer 1

The Enlightenment thinker who did not argue for the concept of liberty and equality for women was Adam Smith.

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct answer is D) Adam Smith argued that the concept of liberty and equality should apply to women.

Adam Smith, although considered an Enlightenment thinker, did not specifically argue for the concept of liberty and equality for women. Smith is primarily known for his economic theories, such as the idea of a free market and the invisible hand.

Voltaire argued for freedom of speech, expression, and religion; Montesquieu argued for the separation of powers in government; and John Locke argued that people are born with natural rights.
