A isn't right. They wanted to break away from the king's unlawful and unfair rulings.
B isn't right, it is just ridiculous, and irreverent.
C isn't this Civics and history? Not science? Ok, Benjamin had something to do with science, you know the guy struck by lightening? Yeah... Him. But not Paine, he wrote the Common Sense.
D I would choose this, Benjamin F. Wrote about this in the DOI, or declaration of independence. Like Thomas wrote about Common Sense, they both displayed ideas to improve their society, one big one was breaking away from Great Brittan.
