Henry David Thoreau, a major proponent of Transcendentalism and Civil Disobedience would have agreed with the statement that

"it is not enough to have an opinion against the government, one must also take action in furtherance of such a view".

  • His premise is popularised in Civil Disobedience where he makes it clear that the government holds no valuable input where matters relating to moral issues are concerned.

  • It was his belief that the individual held the power to effect reforms. It was a moral responsibility, in his opinion, for individuals to take action that most would cede to external elements (government), especially if the position of the government was against the moral conscience of the individual.

This being said, option D is the correct answer.
