Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
Quakers believed in the "inner light" in every human being, which meant that each person had a connection to the divine and deserved respect and freedom to pursue their own spiritual path. This belief in the inherent worth of every individual led Quakers to advocate for universal rights and equality, including religious freedom, abolition of slavery, and equal treatment of women.
