Answer:

to see if Parris can help his agenda to make Proctor confess so that nobody looks bad for wrongly convicting people.

The Crucible is a play written by Arthur Miller. The play is absed on the Witch craft trials occurred in New England in the 1600s.

In the play, Judge Danforth asks Reverend Parris if John Proctor will confess his crime. Danforth asks this so that Reverend Parris could make Proctor confess of his crime so that no one looks bad for wrongly convicting John Proctor and Rebecca Nurse.

Therefore, option C is correct.
