He compliments the clergy in hopes they will understand his cause. O C. He presents an argument about just and unjust laws. O D. He explains that he had no other choice but to come to Birmingham and protest.​

Answer 1

D.

Step-by-step explanation:

'Letter From Birmingham Jail' is a letter written by Martin Luther King Jr. on April 16, 1963. The letter was written in response to critisicm of his nonviolent protests in Birmingham.

He begins his letter with salutation to 'the Clergymen.' King justifies his presence in Birmingham by stating that he had to come to Birmingham and protests because of the injustice prevailing there. He writes that he received a letter from an affliate from Birmingham, who asked for King's help in nonviolent protests. So, King justifies that he had to come to Birmingham because of injustice. He alludes his coming to that of Apostle Paul, who left his village to preach gospel to other nations. So, King asserted that it deemed necessary for him to come to Birmingham because there was injustice and carry out nonviolent protests.

Thus option D is correct.
