Answer 2

c) passive resistance.

Step-by-step explanation:

The practice of slavery has its roots in the 17th century and remained up to the nineteenth century when it was finally abolished by the 13th amendment of the U.S. The conflict of slaves with their masters resulted in various forms of discontent. But the most common among them was passive resistance. Slaves used passive resistance in their daily life by act of sabotage masters' property, pretending to not understand the commands of their masters, faking out illness, slowing down the pace of work, etc.
