Answer:

D) Punishment

Explanation:

The noun <em>scourge </em>refers to something or someone that causes great trouble or suffering, or the use of a whip as an instrument for physical punishment. Some synonyms of scourge are <em>torment, affliction </em>and <em>punishment.</em> As a result, Mandela means that children should run freely and not be menaced, confronted or taken advantage of.
