I may not know the exact answer, but i'm leaning towards C because it's one of the few answers that seems reasonable.

B is wrong because it's exactly the opposite; their owners didn't want slaves to get smart, they thought it was easier to control them if they were ignorant and didn't know how to read.

I hope this helped out a little!
