It was letter d.
Thoreau was a pacifist but he also advocated the use of force when necessary.  Thoreau believed that there comes a time that
you have to use aggressive means to achieve change against an unjust system
although Lewis was against violence particularly that of Malcolm X exultations,
this call of violence is similar to Thoreau.

Im still not convinced its D, I would say it is C, Thoreau was a guy who did not like following some orders of the law and he belived in "CIVIL DISOBEDIENCE" a famous story he wrote about breaking the law when necessary. Answer C talks about INDEPENDENCE, RESPONSIBILITY, SELF-DISCIPLINE, and SELF-RELIANCE.
