The correct answer is C. Wanted a Bill of Rights to support individual rights

Step-by-step explanation:

For Anti-Federalists, it was important to avoid tyrannical or monarchical governments as it occurred before independence. Due to this, they were reluctant to establish a Federal government that combined the national and local levels as they considered this would weaken the power of the states and give excessive power to the national government.

In this context, anti-federalists considered essential the bill of rights because this was one way to avoid the abuse of power and protect individuals' rights. This is mentioned in the chart presented in "Believed a bill of rights needed to be added to the Constitution..."
