Welcome to OpenStudy. I hope you enjoy your stay here.

Now relating to your question:
Do you know anything about the {Fugitive Slave Act of 1850}.

{The Fugitive Slave Law or Fugitive Slave Act was passed by the United States Congress on September 18, 1850, as part of the Compromise of 1850 between Southern slave-holding interests and Northern Free-Soilers. This was one of the most controversial acts of the 1850 compromise and heightened Northern fears of a "slave power conspiracy". It declared that all runaway slaves were, upon capture, to be returned to their masters. Abolitionists nicknamed it the "Bloodhound Law" for the dogs that were used to track down runaway slaves.

With reading that you understand the {Fugitive Slave Act of 1850} pretty much forced citizens to return runaway slaves back to the south.

So with that I believe that:
{B. required all citizens to support the slave system} would be your best choice.
