Answer:

D). Could imprison him but could never confine his soul.

Explanation:

As per the given description, Thoreau most likely possessed a belief that the state 'could imprison him but could never confine his soul' on the basis of his transcendental beliefs which he has portrayed in his famous work 'Civil Disobedience'. He believed that <u>the political authorities as well as controlled religion destroys the individual' purity, faith, and self-reliance</u>. This idea of him is <u>reflected when he asserts that 'they could not reach me, they had resolved to punish the body, ..but can't come to those who've a spite' </u>which implies that the authorities cannot restrict his individuality or soul. Therefore, <u>option D</u> is the correct answer.
