I will answer the three options based on different kind of perspective of a person:
- I would chose the first option to escape and flee with my family to another part of Africa if my co-workers wouldn't agree with me in Options 2 or 3. It would be a personal option to escape because its for my own's best self-interest to survive in the world and avoid punishment.
- I would chose the second option to appeal to the missionaries or the authorities even the king if the work crew also agreed and have the same view of what's happening and in order to avoid a bloody and chaotic movement for reforms.
- I would only chose the last option to take arms if it is necessary and peaceful solution has failed. Also this is only possible if everyone in the work crew has the same views with me and lost hope for a peaceful reforms.
