Answer:

C). He wanted to suggest that one should be willing to go to great lengths for a belief.

Explanation:

Henry David Thoreau is the renowned American philosopher and essayist who is acknowledged worldwide for his transcendental thoughts and ideals reflected in his works. His work 'Civil Dis-obedience' reflects his fascination towards 'functioning of the jail'.

As per the question, option C displays the statement that Thoreau hopes from his modern day successors to make with imprisonment as he wished to imply that a person must be compliant and prepared enough to 'go to great lengths' for a belief which they find ethical, social, and virtuous. He urges his successors to believe in their conscience instead of laws. Thus, option B is the correct answer.
